Reply To: Was I yotzeh daled kosos?

ubiquitin – “If he was Jewish but not shomer Shabbos, can he drink non- mevushal wine? (R’ Bleich had a article on this in tradition a few years back)”

I did not see Rabbi Bleich’s article.

There are many approaches to permit. Firstly he must be mechal shabbos b’farhesia, which has a high standard (more than the simple meaning). Secondly one who recites Kiddush and explicitly recites the words “And the heavens and the earth were completed etc.” cannot be considered a heretic and does not forbid wine by touching it. Although many Poskim agree to this opinion, some disagree. Halachically speaking, Maran Rabbeinu Ovadia Yosef zt”l writes that one who relies on this opinion has on whom to rely.
