STILL SEARCHING FOR A REBBI [#16722]

November 14, 2021

QUESTION:

How do I blindly follow what my Rebbi tells me? How can I find a Rebbi who is closer to the emes - how can I trust my own perception of what emes is? What if my Rebbi tells me that I am allowed to have an Internet job?

ANSWER:

The fact that you are so bothered by this and searching for a Rebbi in order to listen to what he tells you, is the proper way to go in. As long as you feel that you are not finding the Rav or Rebbi that you are searching for, you should continue your search and continue davening for this, until you find someone whom you recognize as closest to the emes. From your questions on this topic, it seems you haven’t yet found the Rebbi you are searching for. If you search for him with all your heart and with a desire for the pure truth, Hashem will accommodate your wishes.
