LW displayed true Southern Christian graciousness with the overload-decorated house and full-bore Christmas tree, as well as blowing off her MiL's concerns about the children not being considered Orthodox Jewish. Did LW and husband educate the children in Jewish religious traditions? Did they make sure they got appropriate education in the family's Jewish background and traditions? I'm betting no. Doing that might have gone a long way to smoothing over the in-law relationship.

"...I was genuinely sad that our daughters would never have the wonderful, life-enriching relationships I enjoyed with my grandparents." Too bad LW didn't think of that before behaving badly to her inlaws!

LW married into a very conservative religious family and disrespected all their traditions and boundaries, is my take, and her husband should be handling them on his own. Because they really don't need to deal with her.
