Thanks Zees. I am curious what site you mention as I do have a few blogs, but I have not offered them here. But that said, I am confident that if HASHEM wanted me to be with a rabbi on a usual basis, he would have put me in a place where that is possible. I have not been confident in some of the rabbis I have met or know about to date, but that said, I am an avid reader of some of the rabbinic writings from art scroll and feldheim. That said, no one has offered me a response to my inquiry about why a woman might wish to cut all of her hair off and what significance i may or may not have. That said, I am a medical doctor and I do not feel that I can blindly follow any rabbi until I personally know that person and he personallly knows and works liberally with me on a matter. I do welcome such a relationship, but I will tell you that at the present time, that is a very unlikely relationship due to logistics and other matters. But that said, your points are with your clear leannings and I appreciate though do not agree wholehearted with a pure “the rabbi is the only way to God” approach. So thanks but I will keep letting my soul and workings be guided by A True Guide as I believe it is possible. If you take 2 steps towards HASHEM, he will take 5 or more towards you. So for a ba’al tschuvah, perhaps we have a slight advantage over the religious since birth since we had to really make a big decision and it is not always what one might think he would do given his current circumstances, family relations, occupational lifestyle and other things. Hashem is our Guide and I am quite sure that when it may become time for a special rabbi to be my partner and aide, that this relationship will exist. But until then, I must rely on my own intropection, intelligence, insight and hard work to get me to be a Jew who has merit, worth, diligence and hopefully if it be the will of my friends and our Creator, honor as well. Thanks.
