Description

Too-quick overview of many sub-topics: 1. Is there a halachic obligation to pick one rabbi? 2. Is there an obligation to follow the local rabbi? 3. May one rely on books of halachah? 4. May one seek a second rabbinic opinion? 5. What traits should a doctor seek in a rabbi? I hope to do this as a two-part shiur in the future.
