tbt, telling a doubting intellectual person that Jews exist, despite not having a country of their own, because G-d is protecting them, isnt sufficient proof. How about American Indians?
My teineh is that we have many Kiruv experts, but we dont have people who are good at answering and discussing belief with those who want to give up Frumkeit and are willing to meet with them personally. The back and forth debate is crucial. This cant be accomplished with books. Ive been told that to save a Jewish Neshama youre allowed to be Mechalel Shabbos.
There exists a huge culture (intellectuals, not failures) of those who left Frumkeit and they are always looking to recruit others and tell them how happy they’ll be. If we dont plan accordingly, and do the best we can, it’s not good. If we are Maaminim, our job is to do more to combat these individuals. Throwing up our hands and blaming isnt what Hashem wants of us. I dont think so.
