    I would not text a rav unless he says its OK, some arent cool with texting and some are.

    You can just call a Rav, but unfortunately for you its a troll free number.

    In Israel there is no option of “texting” a Rabbi 🙁

    texting a rav clearly is far superior to playing phone tag.

    Barlev: R’ Shlomo Aviner reportedly answers hundreds of text message shailas a day, and also answers email shailas (through this assistant). I assume most of the texters are from Israel, since he’s an Israeli rabbi.

    I wonder how much meaningful information and detail can be provided in a 140 character message that a Rov would feel comfortable answering.

    You have text messaging mixed up with Twitter. Tweets (on Twitter) are limited to 140 characters. Text messages and messages on Whatsapp are not.

    Good question. Well, you can take a look at his website and see the kinds of responses he gives.

    That’s another sha’alah for a Rav. Can one text a Sha’alah to a Rav. (who can I text this one to?)

    “I wonder how much meaningful information and detail can be provided in a 140 character message that a Rov would feel comfortable answering. “

    Rav Aviner publishes his text message responsa. Many have even been translated into English by his students. You can go online and learn his Torah-by-text message and see for yourself.
