Tal Koppel's Book "Being Jewish"
Question
What is the Rabbi's position regarding the Jewish outlook that Moshe Koppel expressed in his book Being Jewish? On the one hand, it is a minimalist approach to the fundamentals of Judaism, but on the other hand he has already turned it into a social tradition.
Discussion on Answer
Define the outlook you are talking about. The relevant question is not about a person but about an opinion.
According to the Rabbi's approach, is there halakhic value to someone who performs commandments מתוך Moshe Koppel's outlook? True, he did not determine that it is false, but the reasoning is a kind of traditionalism.
