[Avodah] Defining someone as frum

[Michael Feldstein]

How can an Orthodox person sometimes sin?  well duh, it just kind of
happens....maybe you've heard of such cases.  Or maybe you live in an
idealized
world in which every Orthodox Jew is a perfect tzaddik.
According to YOU, when a person sins, he is not Orthodox?  According  to
/your/ definition, when you speak loshon hara, you are no longer Orthodox,
no
longer an observant Jew?
----------------------------------------

I didn't read it that way. Of course Orthodox Jews sin.  Some are more
sinful when it comes to
mitzvos bein adam l'makom, and some are more sinful when it comes to mitzvos
bein adam l'chaveiro.
I read the post you are referring to as a criticism of those who believe
that what
defines you as frum are only the mitzvos bein adam l'makom.
