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

Lilmod, you wrote “It sounds like you were refusing to listen to the Rav who you went to. . .” Not true. Here’s what happened. Iniitially, our Rebbe gave us direction which contradicted the advice on this Board. The Rebbe came around to the Board’s position of going for a shaila. And when we gave him the Shaila’s name, he lit up & fully endorsed the idea b/c he knew the Rabbi from the Bais Horaah of Lakewood. So us & our Rebbe are definitely on the same page.
