Mitzvos and Aveiros that are in the realm of thoughts and personal feelings, Avoda, etc are not �Hashkafa�. They are �Halacha�. Anyone who isn�t a complete Am Haaretz can easily cite a plethora of sources.
Is lashon hara Hashkafa?
Why should Histaklus, Lo Sasuru, Bitul Zman, virtual Torah , Moshav Leitizim, miynus , etc be relegated to the category of �Hashkafa� and lifestyle choices ?!?
Perhaps there are �frum � educational systems that teach that some of these topics are not Halacha but rather �choices� within orthodoxy. That would explain the attitude. Avira knows�.
