Winnie The Pooh – I think that was very wise that you suggested that he spoke to the local Rabbanim and gave him a specific name to call!
Assurnet – I’m sure you don’t me to tell you this, but I’m just pointing out that you can get the best information from speaking to live people. For one thing, l”h is less of an issue since it’s l’toeles, so you can find out things that you wouldn’t be able to find out here. For another, you know who you are talking to, so it’s easier to evaluate the perspective they are coming from (as well as the extent to which you can trust them).
