“1. Is he/she well integrated into a frum community?
2. Does he/she have an open relationship with a rav, and feel comfortable bringing shailos to a rav?
3. Can he/she separate Judaism from individual Jews, so that cv’s an encounter with a rude frum person doesn’t shake his/her beliefs to the core?
4. Does he/she have frum friends, or does he/she interact primarily with non-frum friends?
5. Is he/she comfortable with saying “I don’t know, I need to ask”?”
Why do these questions apply more to a Baal Teshuvah than to anyone?
