Reply To: Those who used to call R Blumenkrantz a"h for advice, who do you call?

charliehall, the questions I have arent mostly Halacha, they’re more advice kind of questions… over the years they concerned schools, jobs, Shidduchim, children, etc. where you need a patient caring listener.

Id like to offer one story where Rabbi Blumenkrantz was involved. A daughter of mine accepted a job at a certain girls camp. After that she got a much better offer elsewhere and it was still months before the summer. She badly wanted to go to the second camp. Rabbi Blumenkrantz told my daughter to go to the head of the camp she commited to and ask if she is willing to find someone else to replace her and if she is, my daughter is then free to go to the second camp. If not, stay with offer #1, and I give you a Bracha that good will come out of it. The head of camp #1 didnt want to release her from the agreement, so my daughter did as R’ Blumenkrantz said and stayed with camp #1. She ended up being Head Counselor the next year and loved the experience. We then called Rabbi Blumenkrantz (who often said call me to tell me how it goes) who was happy to hear of the happy update.
