Rabbi Amit Kula

I heard your brief reference in Platonism that you cannot give up some kind of interaction at Mount Sinai, and it seems to me that the rabbi also added the miracles of the Exodus from Egypt, in contrast to the opinion of Rabbi Kula, who is willing to rule out any interaction and still observe Torah and commandments.
And I asked, what is the relationship between the statement that this is a perception that is ground-breaking and leaves no reason to believe, and what the rabbi said in Dogmatics that there is no such thing as thirteen principles and that people were never excluded because of their perceptions, but only when they violated the halakha, etc., etc.
Should we reject Rav Kola’s opinion more forcefully or explain my opinion why he is wrong but leave him within the fence of understanding and inclusion? Is there even a fence that those who cross it oppose his opinion more than those who disbelieve in minor matters?
Is there a column that deals with the opinion of Rabbi Kula?
Thanks in advance and excited for Tor’s 700th birthday

I didn’t say there are no principles. What I said is that it is not possible to demand beliefs in facts by virtue of authority. What does that have to do with the question of whether these or other facts are true, and the question of whether they are a necessary basis for worshiping God. Without believing in God, it is impossible to worship God, even though this belief is a claim of fact. I wrote my arguments against Rabbi Kula’s book in a critique of it found here on the website: https://mikyab.net/%D7%9B%D7%AA%D7%91%D7%99%D7%9D/%D7%A1%D7%A7%D7%99%D7%A8%D7%95%D7%AA-%D7%A1%D7%A4%D7%A8%D7%99%D7%9D/%D7%94%D7%95%D7%95%D7%99%D7%94-%D7% 90%D7%95-%D7%97%D7%9C%D7%9E%D7%AA%D7%99-%D7%97%D7%9C%D7%95%D7%9D-%D7%A2%D7%9 C-%D7%92%D7%99%D7%9C%D7%95%D7%99-%D7%95%D7%9B%D7%99%D7%A1%D7%95%D7%99-%D7%91/ I don’t deal with the question of who is inside the fence and who is outside it. It doesn’t really interest me, and I’m not in charge of guarding fences and borders.
