Questions To Rabbi Mandel
Question: L’chavod HaRav HaGaon, Rav Mandel Shlita
Can you please advise me on the process of choosing and making a Rebbi? What's the criteria, and how do I "make him” my Rebbi? Does he have to know me? Please elaborate, if possible, as I have been dealing with this question, and all insights and advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much for all that you have done, and continue to do, for me and Gantz Klal Yisroel!!
Answer: Now look. Daven to get an Ehrliche Rebbe who knows you and understands you and respects you. A Rebbe who’s intelligent! R’ Shlomo Freifeld Zatzal said: “When you get a Rebbe, make sure he’s smart”. Very important. Get a smart, Y'rei Shamayim. That’s number one.
And the more you respect him, the more you'll get out of him.
That’s all
