I so admire what you wrote. It makes so much sense.
I find it hard to convey the beauty of yiddishkeit. A lot of it comes out dry…. “say your brachos, bensch, wash negelvasser, wash netilas yadayim,…etc”. It comes out like have to’s and in the absence of bad educators, I wonder how to excite a child about yiddishkeit.
