This site enables you to contact Rabbi Forsythe for a purpose other than asking a shaalah (question).

PLEASE READ COMPLETELY. COMMUNICATIONS MUST SATISFY ALL CRITERIA. FORM MUST BE COMPLETELY FILLED-OUT AND NOT BE ANONYMOUS (NOR HAVE A CONTRIVED NAME; examples of some which have been received: Plony Almony, Lady X, Mr. Torah, etc.) OR YOUR EMAIL WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED.

All sincere communications are warmly encouraged. Please do not write the same letter twice (some people have been sending the same communication to both "Ask Your Question" and "Contact"). ONLY WRITE ONCE and use the one choice ("Ask" OR "Contact") that is MOST APPROPRIATELY SUITED to the nature of your communication. This CONTACT feature is  for  engaging Rabbi Forsythe's professional services. Please keep your writing concise, practical and to-the-point. Fill out all of the information on the form and make sure your email address is precise and verified. Other purposes are not acceptable (e.g. sending poetry, advertisements or jokes; any attempt at debating or scholarly discourse; asking for your basherte, etc). Do not ever send attachments.

This can possibly include to:

* speak (shul, school, institutional function, shabatone, outreach, adult education series, etc.),

* arrange private counseling,

* do writing for publication,

* request the advance permission required to publish writings contained on this site,

* send Rabbi Forsythe constructive suggestions about this site,

* you may briefly describe a situation, interest or need and request tape program recommendations,

* answer a more delicate or urgent question which is not appropriate for the more public "Ask Rabbi Forsythe Your Question" feature of this site,

* etc.

Rabbi Forsythe plans to give all sincere questions serious, timely and respectful consideration; as circumstances permit.

All questions must have your name and other requested information in order to be accepted. We ask that you please do not ever send attachments with your e-mail nor ever send anonymous communications.

Questions will be rejected if there is an attachment, if the question is not suitable to Rabbi Forsythe, if the English or the purpose is unclear, etc.  Acceptance is solely subject to Rabbi Forsythe's discretion. No academic nor comparative religion questions will be accepted. Only practical material, derived from or consistent with Jewish instruction, will be accepted.   Sincere, respectful and relevant communications are warmly encouraged. However, please keep to the basic purpose of the site. The ASK YOUR QUESTION feature of Rabbi Forsythe's website is for people to ask questions to improve their lives, marriages, families, relationships, mate-seeking efforts, inner growth and handling of inner struggles; through Rabbi Forsythe's Torah and psychological research, knowledge, insight and experience. The CONTACT RABBI FORSYTHE feature is to enable people to communicate with Rabbi Forsythe to spread Torah or to help improve people's lives on a large scale through his professional work and expertise, such as private counseling, public speaking and workshops, acquiring his tapes or to write for publication. Please understand that communications for involvement in your personal projects (such as making a shiduch, asking Rabbi Forsythe to volunteer to design your school curriculum, receiving your resume or request to help get you a job, or to get you in to a school or kollel) can not be accepted.

Answering of questions might be delayed e.g. if Rabbi Forsythe is out of town (e.g. lecturing) or if his workload at the time is extremely heavy.

Please write clearly the purpose for your contact and tell Rabbi Forsythe how to reach you. Supply:

* first name,

* last name,

* title if any, e.g. rabbi, principal, etc,

* full address,

* e-mail address,

* (for speaking engagements) location and type of congregation or institution, audience, type and goal of program,

* (for publishing writing) describe publication, philosophy, readership, assignment (guidelines, scope and goal).

It is most important that your text clearly communicate your essential purpose in writing and what is unique and relevant to your situation.

Please do NOT send email on Fridays after mid-morning, Saturdays, all major Jewish holidays, Chol HoMoed - the intermediate days of Passover and Sukkos, Purim, Tisha B'Av nor on the two days before Passover and before Sukkos. Thank you.
