Reply To: Chief Rabbis of France and South Africa

If we appoint a CR for the CR, will we be able to make minyan here and get aliyos here? Who wants to be the kohen? The latest gimmick is to tell the kohen to leave shul so the rabbi can take his place at the Torah. People forget that being a kohen came with the possibility of becoming a kohen gadol, where people prayed for his death. They think there will be no repercussions for assuming the kohen’s position by the Torah as a bimkom kohen. As there is no respect anymore for kohanim, the world no longer respects rabbis. Midah kineged midah…
