Those of us who return to Yiddishkeit struggle with finding a Rebbe and/or derech, as you wrote.<BR/><BR/>Dixie Yid's advice seems solid.Neil Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12797772082427806345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2606399196932045640.post-42480679623565514752008-01-14T15:16:00.000-05:002008-01-14T15:16:00.000-05:00You're right that I have a rebbe I can ask these q...You're right that I have a rebbe I can ask these questions to. And I do. The question for me is not so much about the learning, but about a derech haChaim. I don't have a clear set of minhagim, except for my generic nusach ashkenaz minhagim. Right now, those are the one's I'm sticking to, though with my increased interest in Chassidus, I've been thinking for a few years about making some sort of transition.<BR/><BR/>The question would be, "To what?" I don't think that my rebbe would recommend a whole consistent set of minhagim for me in Chassidus. I have spoken to him about the topic and he doesn't want anyone to feel that they have to change their minhagim to connect to what Chassidus is about, which is primarily more pnimi, not chitzoni.<BR/><BR/>So right now, I'm trying to focus more the penimi, which is the main thing anyway. If I change my external set of minhagim to become a generic Chossid (?), I'm not sure what that would entail.<BR/><BR/>Although I do enjoy Horowitz-esque "noshing."<BR/><BR/>Long Beach Chassid,<BR/><BR/>Interesting first post on your blog. Looking forward to seeing more, if you decide to write. <BR/><BR/>I look forward to hearing what kind of clarifications you will get, when you speak to your mashpia's rebbe. <BR/><BR/>The only advice I could give is to be forward and "aggressive" when seeking out counsel from whatever Tzaddikim that you can find.

Assumptions are not good ways of going about things, but i find it hard to believe that after being inspired by Rebbes of Ger that i can just show up and be accepted. Living away from their communities. My mashpia is a Radomsk Chassid so maybe when i go meet his Rebbe Ha Rav Chaskel Besser things will be more clear to me. I felt a deep connection to the Biala Rebbe of BB but since i don't speak Hebrew I'm limited to the treasures inside their seforim. Advice is greatly appreciated.Long Beach Chasidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07305665670784434023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2606399196932045640.post-62293529551836566342008-01-14T10:18:00.000-05:002008-01-14T10:18:00.000-05:00Dixie Yid: From many of your past postings you hav...Dixie Yid: From many of your past postings you have indicated that you have a very close relationship with your rebbe. Forgive me for being simplistic, but I would imagine that you could get your answer as to what seforim you should learn simply by asking him. As for other's who don't have such a relationship with their rebbe I would encourage them to take a look at Rabbi Yaakov Horowitz's suggestion <BR/><A HREF="http://asimplejew.blogspot.com/2007/03/torah-is-smorgasbord.html" REL="nofollow">here.</A>A Simple Jewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04158902792838896670noreply@blogger.com
