Reply To: Why do so many people give the advise "ask your local orthodox rabbi"

“That’s true, but the chumros/kulos and different minhagim followed certainly vary to the point that what might be poretz geder in one place might not be in another.”

There is no minhag hamakom. Only shule policy for every individual shule. So if its a woman asking the question, “do I need to cover my head” I would say ask the “rabbi of your shule”- not your LOR. If she is asking a kashrus question, can ask anyone.
