[Avodah] 13 Ikkarim

[Rich, Joel]

 I think that the 13 Ikkarim are a yardstick for Orthodoxy, as Shabbos,
Kashrus and Tahars haMishpacha are a yardstick for "Frum." KT,

The limits of orthodox theology

There may be a parallel discussion in hilchot aveilut re: when don't you
sit shiva for someone. IIRC R'YBS differentiated between one who is
Jewish but not part of klal Yisrael (i.e. chayav bmitzvot, kiddushin is
tofes but yom kipput is noy mchapeir) The mitzvot that would be the
differentiators (iirc based on Avraham avinu)are
mila,intermarriage,belief in hashem and that HKB"H gave E"Y to the
Jewish people.
