I never heard the terms Orthoprax before, though I know what it means. I think we should not be quick to negatively judge such people, because even if they do not “feel” their Yiddishket,at least they are practicing it outwardly – which shows that they would be embarrassed NOT to. I am of the school that says “m’toch shelo lishma, ba lishma.” The trick is to get the Orthoprax Jew to FEEL, so that he is no longer just going through the motions.
