Is it normal for a rabbi to be this hands-off?

Hi everyone (mods I am begging you not to lock this post because it has nothing to do with actual c*nversion)

I have been in the giyur process for over 7 months at this point.

I’ve never felt like I could contact my rabbi with questions and stuff. I feel like I am bothering him.

Our congregation isn’t very robust so it’s not like he’s overwhelmed with “pastoral duties” (for lack of a better term).

I rarely get replies to emails with questions. I have only been able to schedule meetings with him to discuss the process twice over the last 7 months. My most recent email from 2 weeks ago has gone unanswered.

Is this normal for a rabbi who has an active giyur congregant?

I’m extremely active in the congregation itself, prior to the winter holidays (really tough holiday season for me) I was attending shul every Saturday morning, I’m in small groups, the women’s club, I teach Israel studies in the religious school for Gd’s sake – I just feel kind of tossed aside through the process so far?

Is this normal?
