Rabbi, You, & Autonomy (Mailbag- 7)

In this episode of The Mailbag, we address questions about Rabbis- "Does having a Rabbi reduce my own autonomy in decision making? "Are some Rabbis better than other rabbis?" "Can Women be Rabbis"? "Should I be asking my Rabbi Business decisions? Medical advice?" "Are Rabbis looking for control?" "What is 'Daas Torah'?" In response we analyze the 3 necessary qualities of a Rabbi and how a healthy approach to having a Rabbi will lead to invaluable counsel, guidance, friendship, and autonomy.
