charlie: See, this is something I really don’t like that’s been done with Rabbi Shapiro’s book. His point wasn’t to say that since not everyone held by the Rambam forever that we can just throw out the concept of Ikkarei Emunah. His point was just that the rules aren’t as set-in-stone as many want to say nowadays. The fact is, what Farber said is Apikorsus according to everyone, ever. That is undeniable. Apikorsus does exist. And while Rabbi Shapiro might be right that the rules aren’t has clear as some might be, the fact is that that doesn’t give us license to ignore all Apikorsus.
