The Rav Hakolel or Chief Rabbi of New York City, was the title held by Rabbi Jacob Joseph (1841-1902). A student of the Volozhin Yeshiva and later of Rav Yisrael Salanter, he enjoyed a successful rabbinic career in Lithuania which culminated with his appointment to be the Maggid of Vilna. In 1888 he was invited to become the chief rabbi of a federation of synagogues in Manhattan's Lower East Side. Although it wasn't a very successful venture, behind it lies the story of a great rabbinical leader.\n\xa0\nFor sponsorship opportunities about your favorite topics of Jewish history contact Yehuda at:\xa0\xa0yehuda@yehudageberer.com\n\n\xa0\n\nSubscribe To Our Podcast on:\xa0\n\xa0\nPodBean:\xa0https://jsoundbites.podbean.com/\n\xa0\n\nFollow us on Twitter or Instagram at\xa0@Jsoundbites\nYou can email Yehuda at\xa0yehuda@yehudageberer.com
