(Current) Rabbi: “I’m only doing this because I believe in the possibility of spiritual transformation.”

Instead of just playing this out with another Rabbi, LUKE!, weekly sessions with a qualified therapist as an adjunct to the spiritual coaching would be good at this time.

Otherwise you are going to keep testing and testing this Rabbi’s boundaries and pushing your luck.

You love your Rabbi. Why punish him for being on your side.

Good luck!
