Question
Please can this be directed to Rabbi Shippel for advice: I am not sure how to handle a sensitive situation.... "my Rabbi" left Cape Town over a year ago, and even though I have tried on numerous occasions to make contact with him via email, and to stay in touch and maintain the connection, he never responds, even after promising to do so going forward, after a more recent visit back to Cape Town to conduct a mariage, which I attended and discussed my disappointment with him. What should I do?
