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

Yea, you could take an HD photo and email to to any rov or the hotline emails. Obviously there are a few things better in person, but constantly saying ask your LOR gives extra validity and exposure to a local rabbi versus the most qualified one. And if you say ask your OR people will obviously know if it needs to be in person they will go to the most local Rabbi, there is no need to make the word “local” part of the go to answer for every question.
