Reply To: Should the caveat ask "LOR" be obsoletd?

Yf you sub PHA for LOR does it change anything,about your relationship with him?

Other than ????? Arba Minim and a bruised chicken(how often does this come up in todays shrink wrapped world) how many Shailos require the physical proximity of the moreh horoah? If the term local refers to his authority as ??? ?????, how is this applicable outside of 1 kehila/1 Rav communities. Is everyone’s definition of Orthodox uniform? Is every administrator of an ed mosad,employee of an orgniazation (yes the controller, legal counsel,newsletter editor) day school Rebbe a quailified moreh horoah?

Is the cutodian of the shtiebel next door a LOR whom you can ask Shailos? He is loacl Orthodox & a Rabbi.

I still think the emphais should be on “persoanal” which reflects your trust of the man’s competence ad Yiras Shomayim and his familirity with your circumstances and background.
