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.

The issue with Hasidism is sort of grey, because they don't exactly consider reform Jews to be real Jews.
That synagogue, in Marrieta, was actively recruiting as of the 2002 article in the New York Times.
