I seriously don’t understand the argument here. It’s an open Gemora in Sanhedrin Perek 12 that anyone can look up that somebody who says that people who just sit and learn don’t contribute to the klal are apikorsim. Not just mistaken, not just a little skewed or left-wing in hashkofa but the big A word. Apikorus. No chelek in Olom haba. And nobody argues on that shito. Too extreme? Don’t like it? Don’t agree with the Gemara? Then don’t light Shabos candles and don’t put strange black straps on your arms and head daily. Then find another branch of Judaism that discards the words of the Chazal like Reform or Conservative.
