Reply To: Reformed Are Jews?

@mods-just to put it out there, my title was simply “Jews?”
Not reformed are Jews? Not sure why it was changed but whatever no big deal I guess.

Rebyid-“Maybe if we start realizing that Republicans and Democrats both do not represent Torah values, political differences won’t matter as much.”

– it’s not about the political affiliation it’s what they stand for and their general principles.

Areivim only counts for frum Jews? So where do you draw the line between a severe OTD or just a simple Jew who doesn’t know much but maybe keeps a tiny percent of the religion?
Probably we should daven for them, and when I say them I’m not just talking about reform Jews, that was not my original title, I mean anyone who is Jewish and seemingly not connected at all. For example many actors and actresses who are jews by name only in which almost 100% of the cases marry goyim which is such a shame. You can’t really blame them that is the world they are in and it makes no difference to them whether it’s a yid or not, but it’s painful to know that it’s the case and there is just not much that can be done about it but weep and daven. That goes for the majority of non frum Jews in America (mainly) and in the world as well. They see no benefit or difference in marrying a Yid or in fact would rather not marry a yid since they are usually ashamed of their Judaism. To be honest it seems that there’s a better chance of Jews being at least traditional outside of the USA rather than those who reside here.

When we say that if klal yisrael would keep 2 shabbosim then Moshiach would come, or anything else that is connected with klal yisrael as a whole, teshuva etc. are we only counting the 15-20% who are frum? Because any other scenario than that is just not realistic at all.
