b"Rav Chaim Ozer Grodzinski\\xa0(1863-1940) was one of the greatest rabbinic leaders of the 20th century. A recent book by Rabbi Dovid Kamenetsky profiles some of the aspects of his leadership of Russian and world Jewry through the first decade of the century. One of the highlighted facets of his activities is his dominant\\xa0role in various rabbinical conferences between the years 1907-1910.\\nThere was the attempt to establish the Knesses Yisrael organization, which was the first ever attempt at the organization of traditional\\xa0Jewry in Russia. Then there was the Vilna conference of\\xa01909, which was a preliminary meeting to\\xa0the rabbinical commission\\xa0in St. Petersburg which was to be called by the Czarist government the following year. Also in 1909 was the\\xa0Bad Homburg conference, which laid the foundation for the founding of Agudas Yisroel. Finally there was\\xa0the famous rabbinical conference in St. Petersburg in 1910.\\nIn all of these gatherings, Rav Chaim Ozer's organizational ability, leadership and practical approach led him to be one of the central figures at each subsequent meeting. This firmly established him as one of the primary leaders of Russian Jewry.\\n\\xa0\\nRelated Episodes:\\xa0https://jsoundbites.podbean.com/e/a-father-to-his-people-r-chaim-ozers-leadership-in-turbulent-times/\\nhttps://jsoundbites.podbean.com/e/scholar-statesman-rav-meir-simcha-and-the-1910-conference-in-st-petersburg/\\n\\xa0\\nThis episode has been sponsored by Genazym Auction House.
