The two Alpha Epsilon Pi members were charged with hazing. The fraternity was booted from the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus in 2015, officials said.
You’re talking about birthright trips, which are organized by Chabad, a super Zionist org but not Israel itself. They’re free 10 day trips they give to college age students. It is not some Jewish “coming of age” thing or whatever weirdness you’re, I assume unintentionally, veering into some gross territory with.
And I mean that does kinda sound like they target young adults who are coming of age? Maybe I’m using the term wrong. Am I understanding correctly that you get old enough and the org offers to fly you to Israel to get you invested in Zionism? Does coming of age mean a different or more specific thing?
Sure, that makes sense, but the Jewish bar and bat mizvah ceremonies are literally cultural coming of age traditions, equivalent to a quincinera or confirmation. Thus the immediate ick reaction when you frame chabadniks doing birthright as “coming of age”.
You sound like an anti-semite. It would be like saying all christians have a coming of age rite where they go out and proselityze to all of the countries just because of the mormons.

Ah, gotcha, I get why that would read that way, thanks
I think birthright maybe was the term I’d heard before that I was looking for

Its not just Mormons. Most religious affiliations have a missionary program.
they do not.
I love how people who don’t know quickly contradict. They do in the South.
ETA: this is why people here don’t discuss their traumas. People are do quick to disbelieve and contradict.
