    Does anyone know of a good Rabbi I could get in touch with to ask him halacha questions?

    There are LOTS of good rabbis. I would generally try to find one in your own community because he will understand the local customs, which do differ. And find one with which you are comfortable sharing about more than just purely halachic issues, because a rav should not be merely a halachic resource but also a spiritual guide. “Aseh l’cha rav” is an important mitzvah. Good luck!

    ZD, those are different hotlines.

    Charlie’s right, though. It’s best to have an actual rov. Those hotlines can come in very handy in a pinch, though.

    There is a thread about “ask a rabbi” websites on Stack Exchange (Mi Yodea), which lists various sites. The only well-known posek I know of who will quickly answer a question on any topic (through text or email) is the chardali (charedi-dati-leumi) posek Rav Shlomo Aviner. But like Charlie says, you should ideally find a good rabbi from your local community.

    Good idea for boys & girls interested in getting married and staying away from the Shidduch crisis.

    Thats likely a hashkafa question not a Halachic question. Not a good question to ask an anonymous rabbi

    Rav Aviner has even published his SMS text message responsa!

    “about going to a mixed school”

    I agree with zahavasdad. This is one for a rabbi who knows you well. Good luck!

    ZD,

    I don’t know why you divorce hashkafa from Halacha, but it certainly explains quite a lot.
