Careful. Don’t get in over your head with the capabilities of the Rebbe and Mashgiach from an anonymous yeshiva. We may have no clue who that individual is, and even less knowledge of how much they grasp outside of the gemora. Not every Rebbe or Rosh Yeshiva is able to advise on these matters, as long as they are aware of their limits. This is not a put down at all, just a statement how careful we must be when seeking or offering advice. I have been asked for advice on the stock market. I reject the request, as my understanding of it is extremely poor, while I do have advanced knowledge and training in other areas.
A more general comment – Oh the labeling. We fall into the trap of these labels about someone’s hashkafos, as if they have any bearing at all on fact. Personally, I have found these broad generalizations highly misleading, aside from being poorly understood in the first place.
