Only a Rabbi Follow Up

Rebbe Responsa | June 27, 2025

Explanation - don’t limit G-d, He knows what's truly best for us; Have complete faith

By the Grace of G-d
18th of Kislev, 5718
Brooklyn, N.Y.
Blessing and Greeting:

I duly received your letter of November 30th. Needless to say that the reason I wrote to you that you should not limit yourself in the matter of a Shidduch, to looking for a Rabbi only, is not because I think that you may not be worthy of a Rabbi or anything of the sort. It is only that I think that in this case, as in all other situations, we should not limit the Almighty in any particular way, nor insist on certain conditions, for no human being knows exactly what is best for him, and must leave it to G-d.

You write that some of your friends have married Rabbis and are happy. But surely there are some of your friends who have also married laymen and are also happy. So have complete faith in G-d that He will lead you along the path that is best for you, materially and spiritually.

I hope you will have good news to write about.
With blessing,
By (secretary)
