Isn’t someone who abandons Torah and frumkeit a rasha who we should make chozek of?
IMO, one should daven for someone in that position. Making bad choices doesn’t automatically mean the person is bad, just mixed up.
Perhaps we can learn from him how not to go off the derech and how to keep people we know on it.
I think thats a great idea for a thread. (wanna start it?) Maybe its just me, but I don’t like the idea of pointing to one specific person to do that.
