” he is not including REGULAR shomer shabbos Jews…”

I’m always nervous when someone uses the term “regular” to define some type of norm. On the political right, they seemingly always use the term “regular” or “real” American to carve out their stereotype of the east and west coast “liberal elites”. Here in the CR, parsing between are their “regular frum yidden”, “charedi frum yidden”, etc? To be frum within the context of this wordsoup, do you need to check all 613 boxes on your “Shomer Torah Umitzvos Survey Form”? Does drinking chalav stam, holding by eruvim and skiing in Northface gear make you “irregular” from a hashkafah perspective?
