Reply To: obtain a beis din's preliminary ruling without actually going to a beis din

Lilmod, I disagree w/ your statement about “. . . you might be better off going to Rabbanim for advice from here on out as opposed to anonymous posters.” The posters on here were spot on. As an illustrative example, our Rabbi told us to go straight to the Beis Din to have our issues heard. When I mentioned to him how the posters were sayin to get a less formal shaila instead, he still argued to go before the Beis Din. Our Rabbi also initially agreed w/ my wife that a Beis Din would agree w/ her & order me to give a Get. If anything, I would say the posters on here, including yourself, were more accurate than the Rebbeim. I wouldn’t say the posters on here are smarter than the Rebbeim. But I do think the best people to ask about anything are those who experienced it first hand; just not studied it. That’s why I think this forum is so valuable. Lehitraot.
