Will you please help me with a research project I am doing?
If you have had a significant amount of experience with an Orthodox Jewish outreach organization and/or with Chabad, I would greatly appreciate if you would answer the following 4 questions in the Comment section below. You can remain anonymous by not including your name and email address. Your participation is greatly appreciated.
1. Would you describe yourself as an emotional/spiritual oriented person or as a rational/scientific type of person? (I know these are not mutually exclusive, but please pick one.)
2. With which organizations have you have had experience? (i.e., Chabad on Campus, neighborhood Chabad, Aish HaTorah, Community Kollel, etc.), AND what was the nature and frequency of the experiences? (i.e., Shabbat dinner, a weekly class, learning one-on-one, a weekend retreat at a hotel, etc.)
3. How have you grown Jewishly from these experiences?
Plus #4 OR #5:
4. Why have you NOT become Orthodox? (The more specific your answer the better -- especially theological reasons.)
5. What was it that lead you to become Orthodox? (Please include what was it that lead you to believe/know that Torah Judaism is Truth?)
Thank you very much!
Sincerely,
Joel Hoffman
