[Avodah] reform and conservative

[Rich, Joel]

 from "daily halacha"


Special Clarification: Reform/Conservative Counted in Minyan

Clarification: Conservative or Reform Jews who believe in Conservative or Reform dogma that denies any portion of the Oral Law - Torah Sh'baal Peh, may not be counted towards a minyan. They may pray with the minyan, but are not counted towards the 10. However, Jews who consider themseleves Conservative or Reform, but do not knowingly deny the truth of The Oral Law (or any portion of it) are classified as Tinok Shenishba, and may be counted towards a minyan.
