Let's say you asked your old rabbi a question and he answered you, but now let's say you have lost contact with him. Do you still have to follow this pesak or can you change?

If I see the title correctly, this is about the concept of "lo bashamayim hi" which is not what I'm looking for.– Hacham GabrielJan 9, 2012 at 2:20

1@HachamGabriel search the page (mentioned by doubleAA ) for the words "How long does the ruling remain binding?"– ertert3terteJan 9, 2012 at 3:12

1@ShmuelBrill Yes that's what I was referring to. I'm a little busy now to write it up right, so if you (or anyone else) want to, that's ok by me.– Double AA ♦Jan 9, 2012 at 4:15

2Your question is very unclear. Did you ask the rabbi a long time ago? Did you happen to bump into him and ask him the question? Do you live in his community? What happened and what are the circumstances?– Seth JJan 13, 2012 at 14:29

If you change rabbi/shita/chasidis - you take on the laws of the new.
EG - ashkenaz woman marries sfardi - eats rice on pesach Askenaz turns sefardi - change your tefilin If your new rebbi only holds R Tam lechumra, you should not hold it lekula in his town.
If you learn a sugya/halacha or anything wrong, or differntly later - you change. Judaism is a living organism

1Do you have an halachic source for the assertion that one can, let alone should, change his practices when he change rabbis or chasiduyos?– msh210 ♦Jan 13, 2012 at 15:59

@Jon - Regarding Judaism being a "living organism," I heard a shiur by R' Moshe Weinberger (who is from Aish Kodesh Woodmere) on Orot (by Rav Kook) that reminded me of this. Apr 18, 2012 at 4:13
