More than a few people on their way out or fully out of the fold have asked me how I could choose Chabad as a way of life. "You had every choice in the world. WHY would you choose this? WHY would anyone choose this?" I am going to answer that question as earnestly as possible through this imaginary conversation between someone who is on his or her way out and me. I'm not trying to answer for every chozer/chozeret b'teshuvah -- these are my answers.
What if there's a non-Hasidic version of every Hasid just waiting out there and living their own life?
