“The way to tell if a movement is Orthodox is simply whether they follow Shulchan Oruch and the Rambam’s Thirteen Articles of Faith.”

Do these fall into that category?

1. Inviting a Reform rabbi to speak from the Bimah on Shabbat (and giving him an aliyah)

2. Holding a women’s service on Shabbat with a Bat Mitzvah doing a Haftorah in the library (while the Torah was being read in the main sanctuary)

3. Allowing a woman to wrap tefillin during Shacharit

4. Teaching Iyov with a Baptist Minister

5. Conducting a “Social Action Seder” (during sefira) along with a Reform Rabbi

6. Inviting a Baptist choir to sing (from the bimah) on Martin Luther King day

7. Inviting a “Scholar in Residence” whose topic was why the Rambam did not really mean you had to believe his Thirteen Articles of Faith.
