Before their chavrusa one day, Husbinator mentioned to Rabbi Gold that the only thing we feel we're really missing on the Yishuv is having a rabbi. We need someone to ask halachik questions to, and we'd like to ask in person. (I.e., when we have questions, we don't want to have to call the former/current rabbi who visits once a month: he's really great, but he's not here.)
Surprised, Rabbi Gold told Husbinator that we can just ask Rabbi Barzilai most things, and for the questions that he doesn't answer, we can go to our neighbor who gives the ladies' shiur on Shabbos. Oh. I did not know that. I am so absolutely relieved to have a rabbi, again.
After I got over my initial relief, I started to wonder if Binyamin and Ram are really who I want "as my rabbi(s)." And I realized that they know their stuff, they live here, and I like them. It seems those are, in fact, the only requirements I have for a rabbi. Shouldn't it be more complicated? Nah.
