What are you taking about, there would be a chief rabbi for every group and a chief, chief rabbi of all the chief rabbis!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you really think that back then there were no Machlokos? come on, a Chief Rabbi is called someone who was appointed by a few cogregations as thier Rabbi (as it was the case with the rav Hakollel RJJ)

I am sure that there would be an official and unofficial chief rabbi and lets not forget all the assistant and emeritus chief rabbis.
It good to see that nothing in Yiddishkeit ever changes????.except for the bugs in the water and on fruit, they are always changing.

I think he printed in his sefer “bris melach”, a kuntras from R’ Elya Boruch Kamai the rav of Mir.

on hebrew books there’s available his sefer http://hebrewbooks.org/2183 there’s a picture added on the cover can anyone identify if this is he.

The picture on the cover sounds more like Sir Montifore, perhaps it was printed with money from his funds.

I saw at Bigeleisen a few months ago that they republished his sefer. There is a long kuntress from the rav of Mir Rav Eliyahu Boruch Kamoi ztl. I heard that this is the only thing ever published from the Mirrer rov zatzal. Is that so?

The picture is of Montefiore.
