Sam2,
The establishment of the State is hashgacha klalis not pratis. However I don’t see how the first ikkar invalidates the Satmar shita.
147,
“If defying all the Gedolei haDor isn’t Kefira:- What is Kefira?”
Denying Torah min Hashamayim, the Existence of Hashem, Reward and Punishment, etc.
The word “kefira” has a halachic meaning. What exactly constitutes kefira is a machlokes Rishonim. It is not a word that should be thrown around lightly.
