December 12, 2014 5:46 pm at 5:46 pm #1047243kj chusidParticipantWhat type? Chassidish litvish?
December 12, 2014 6:13 pm at 6:13 pm #1047244HealthParticipant147 – Funny you should ask – I just txted mine. Since he doesn’t know you -no point you having his #.
December 12, 2014 6:51 pm at 6:51 pm #1047245zahavasdadParticipantI would not text a rav unless he says its OK, some arent cool with texting and some are.
December 12, 2014 6:58 pm at 6:58 pm #1047246TheGoqParticipantYou can just call a Rav, but unfortunately for you its a troll free number.

December 14, 2014 5:14 pm at 5:14 pm #1047249147Participanttexting a rav clearly is far superior to playing phone tag.
December 14, 2014 7:05 pm at 7:05 pm #1047252yytzParticipantBarlev: 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.
December 14, 2014 8:20 pm at 8:20 pm #1047253nishtdayngesheftParticipantI 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.
December 14, 2014 9:13 pm at 9:13 pm #1047255yytzParticipantGood question. Well, you can take a look at his website and see the kinds of responses he gives.
December 14, 2014 11:08 pm at 11:08 pm #1047256Little FroggieParticipantThat’s another sha’alah for a Rav. Can one text a Sha’alah to a Rav. (who can I text this one to?)

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.
