[Avodah] the basics

[Saul.Z.Newman at kp.org]

>Shabbos, Kashrus, and Niddah

on one hand , this bare minimum speaks to  jewish status  [ mechallel 
shabbos =  goy]  , and general sphere of  kedusha [what one puts into ones 
body]  .
one could  argue  as to the 1st  two, that it affects large areas of how 
you interact with him--- does he have halachic status as a jew? or is his 
wine  assur?
can you  eat  at his house?
the 3rd  case doesnt  affect directly how you interact with him, though it 
speaks to a certain level of kdusha...

yet ,  there are  going  to be  big variations on these, such that they 
are almost  'in theory'

is there ongoing review of hilchot  shabbat ,  or one is just 'in general' 
keeping shabbos , yet ignorant of its laws?

kashrus--the range of  practice , and hetters relied on vary 
tremendously... would you say someone  who 'eats out' keeps  kosher ?

and  obviously in the private  sphere of taharat hamishpacha  , there can 
be a minimum of a minimum held to --what % would be keeping  harchakot?


but in general they are probably a fairly representative 'trinity' of 
being on the team....
