However the fundamental argument of "trying to reach out or not trying" he was contradictory. Cant attack some for not caring, but attack those that do try. How successful they are in another story
Well written, to straighten up part of the podcast. Also the podcast was contradictory - He admonished the litvaks for not doing more for outreach, but then attacks Lubavitch for doing too much. I was wondering if you also caught that.
What I notice with many BT families, is the children, many of them in essence have to become Frum themselves. They see their relative's, their first cousins living a good free live and wonder why their parent choose this life. It falls upon them to have to also accept, it as opposed to FFB that doesn't have to conjure and think, he just gets absorbed into it.
You can debate that with how many BT they made.

They don't "make BT's" anymore. Stands to argue that previous BTs were "made" due to external factors, i.e., not Chabad.
You are right - That is why many or most of BT are not fully there, with much baggage. Not sure you are allowed to admit this!
In general, all attempts to create algorithms for BT behavior are jarring and off the mark. Human being are more complex.

He said Chabad is successful in "touching Jews", "doing something", but not successful with projects that impact or change Jewish continuity.
I agree with that.
