I'm currently a student in Yeshiva University in Rav Schachter's shiur and previously I went to Shaalvim Yeshiva. My older brothers also went to YU and are involved in another great website called [http://www.berachot.org/index.htm www.Berachot.org]. My brothers and I came up with this idea a few years ago. At first we thought it was impossible to organize and translate all of the halacha but thought perhaps it would be possible if it's done slowly and with the help of others. By the way, every edit or comment is greatly appreciated. | ||
<br> In general, the site is meant to cater to Jews of all types (must be Orthodox, though) and all minhagim. Therefore, irrelevant of my background, I'm happy to to include as many Orthodox opinions as possible.

"Ask your local Orthodox Rabbi" is a common phrase but doesn’t mean that you need to find a posek, usually it means that you need to find a competent Rabbi that will be able to find the relevant established opinions and judge the situation appropriately. If it’s an intricate question which one already investigated and concluded that this question has not been addressed previously, then either go to the posek which you have totally accepted or go to a local Rabbi who will suggest a resolution or refer a specific posek. | "Ask your local Orthodox Rabbi" is a common phrase but doesn’t mean that you need to find a posek, usually it means that you need to find a competent Rabbi that will be able to find the relevant established opinions and judge the situation appropriately.
