Q. Dear Rabbi; I’am divorced and talking to and thinking about going out with a Talmid of Rav Chaim Epstein and told him that I like to go to Breslov shiurim. He suggested that I ask Rabbi Bartfeld to ask Rabbi Miller if it's appropriate for someone in his community to go to these types of Kabbalah Shiurim? The Rabbis that I have been learning with regularly include Rabbi Giselsan from Thornhill and Rabbi Dror Moshe Cussato from Israel. I usually do it on zoom with my camera off. Are Breslov shiurim OK?
A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that it is difficult to recommend particular and different ways of Chassidus, often based on the Zohar and other Kabbalah sefarim that are dedicated to singular Hashkafa and particular ways of Avodas Hashem.
In general, it is better and more recommended to maintain the general Hashkafa that many others successfully maintain, unless one belongs to a dedicated and well guided group, with proper Rabbonim and competent leaders.
Rabbi A. Bartfeld as revised by Horav Dovid Pam, Horav Aharon Miller and Horav Chanoch Ehrentreu Shlit'a
