Bracha
Question
Hi. I'd like to know if I can get a bracha from Rav Yitzchak (for chuppah and parnasa especially). Is that possible? Thanks!
Answer
Answered by Aaron AbadiDo you want an e-Bracha? Just kidding! He can certainly be visited in Israel, or during his frequent visits to the USA. Brachot (Rabbi's Blessings) are overrated. When a person has a problem or wants something, the real first step is to turn to God. This includes looking into our actions and observances to detect and repair flaws. Often a Beracha is an attempt to avoid that step. On the other hand, after taking that step properly, going to a Talmid Chacham (a learned & pious Rabbi) for a blessing is certainly a bonus. Going to a "Mekubel" or for that matter a psychic, however, is not recommended. AA
