I want to point out that the Hasidim only try to recruit Jews. They would not attempt to convince non-Jews to convert. So it's not really an exception.

Judaism does not proselytize, and in fact, if you approach a rabbi about conversion (into any movement), s/he is supposed to turn you away three times to test your convictions.
