Lucky you, Rivka, you were never in a cult. Unfortunately, I was – for 11 precious years of my young adult life. And I didn't completely submit my mind to them, but pretended I did. More unfortunately, I only read Rav Arush's Garden of Emuna years later – and the hour-a-day demand sounds just like what I heard in the cult. I wonder why no one writes with sensitivity about this relatively common problem. We need extra help! Many thanks! 🙂

Response to “Find Yourself A Rav” article I haven't found anyone who I really believe is giving guidance based upon real emunah. I pretty much consider Rav Arush & Rav Brody as my Rabbis even though I am in the US (I pray to come to Israel) & even though they don't know me well personally. I have gained so much from their wisdom & when I do have questions & need guidance I contact them. Not sure if that's good enough to be considered "my Rav", but with them I find real truth. Not so easy to find locally.
