Question

Can a Jew who does not observe Torah and mitzvot join a minyan for prayer or Kaddish?

Answer

A mumar le'achis, or one who publicly desecrates Shabbat in front of a great person, cannot join a minyan. However, if he does not desecrate out of spite and is embarrassed to desecrate Shabbat in front of a great person, he can join the minyan.
