Taking a Rabbi
Question
Hello and blessings.
I wanted to ask: is there an obligation to take a rabbi? And if so, who is your rabbi? Or perhaps rabbis? Or maybe none at all.
Answer
There is no such obligation.
Discussion on Answer
There isn’t one.
If so, who is the main rabbinic / authoritative figure from whom the Rabbi draws his worldview, or is there no such single figure…
