Reply To: Switching from/to Sephardi, Ashkenazi, Mizrachi

Thanks LU. Would an Ashkenazi rabbi give someone Sephardi advice and vice versa?

Or would he refer me to another rabbi?

I’ve only known/met/spoken to Ashkenazi rabbis.

Years ago a Chabad rabbi who knows my dad is Sephardic told me that I was okay eating kitniyot on Pesach.

Afaik all my shailot were answered based on Chabad teachings. Which I guess is a type of Ashkenazi.

I feel like I have so much spiritual religious homework.

Wow it’s such a relief about the bedtime shema!

And I’ve only done Havdalah I think twice. I used both the Tehilas Hashem and Artscroll Siddurs (one has an extra prayer and one had directions that I found easier to follow). That was too massive a leap to jump into for the long run. I am still working on keeping Shabbat for now.

I mentioned Havdalah because they had those prayer cards with the yummy built-in incense at the bookstore too.
