I'm aware why Chatam Sofer and R Feinstein had such harsh and castigating stances on associating/celebrating with non-Orthodox Jews or entering those prayer spaces, as they were actively fighting the advances of Reform (and later Conservative). I'm curious what Sefardi/Mizrahi sources say on non-Orthodox Jews and entering their prayer spaces, seeing as how denominations never took root among Sefardim/Mizrachim.

I believe Ashkenazim also let you attend such functions. The issue was forming associations with them.– N.T.Jan 3 at 11:32
