There is one thing that has always bothered me. I feel that there is a tremendous effort put into making sire that people who are either irreligious or at risk are enjoying yiddishkeit that sometimes people forget about the people who are frum.
Let me explain- I feel that some people assume that all religious kids love yiddishkeit and that they don’t need any special attention or love or incentives or whatever. It has always bothered me that there is a huge attempt to make OTD kids feel unconditionally loved and to try to foster a love for yiddishkeit in those who are unaffiliated that ironically enough, those who are frum are forgotten about.
I think it is extremely important to make every single person, frum or OTD, feel special and loved. Those who are on the derech need just as much love and attention as those who are off. I think if schools realized this, their students will feel just as important and validated and it will make a world of a difference.
