Ask the Rabbi: Difference between revisions

* This service is not meant to replace or substitute the need for consulting a competent Orthodox Rabbi. This service is meant to benefit people in locations that do not have access to a Rabbi. It is also meant to benefit those who have access to a Rabbi to achieve a better understanding of the halachic background so that they can properly present the question to the Rabbi.  

* We are taught many times “aseh lecha rav”-“make for yourself a teacher” (Avot 1:6) as a lesson to keep with us throughout over lives. It is important to establish a steady relationship with a knowledgeable and accessible Orthodox Rabbi to help address all halachic questions. Such a relationship can help one foster spiritual growth and maintain a proper halachic lifestyle.

* Please write in your question if you don’t mind your question being placed anonymously in our archive of questions and answers.  

* As a matter of policy, Halachipedia’s Ask the Rabbi service will not address questions that have to do with marital issues, family purity, or matters of conflict  and friction. In such cases Halachipedia reserves the right not to answer. However, if seen necessary we hope to do our best in referring these questions to the closest relevant Rabbi.  

* Please note that as a matter of policy Halachipedia takes no responsibility, financial or other, for answers given through this service.
