I like your message. I respectfully disagree with the point that there neshama is forever doomed, impossible, to be attached to Yiddishkeit if it's not connected young. The neshama of a Jew, like no other, is always and forever connected to Hashem. That being said, we of course want Jewish children connected as young and as strongly as possible to be able to weather challenges they'll face as an adult in a world insisting on their assimilation to the point of relative detachment from Hashem.
