Reply To: Parent of OTD child

Dear Health, thank you for sharing your thoughts and experience. Pushing wouldn’t work even if I were inclined to do it (and I’m not). Did your OTD kids talk to you about how they feel/why they choose to abandon Judaism (as you and I know it)? Our adult child doesn’t want to discuss it with us; maybe that’s better, I don’t know. I fully understand that I cannot convince/cajole/ coerce s/he to believe in Hashem.

it seems that you have come to terms with your children’s choices; do you talk to them about their potential choices for marriage? This is, of late, my greatest concern.
