The Adas Yisroel community in melbourne Australia chose Hagaon Harav Shlomo Kohn as their new Rov on Sunday.

Rav Kohen, a noted Posek and Rov in the Mattersdorf Section of Yerushalayim, visited Melbourne last week. Rav Kohen toured the community, visiting all Mosdos Hatorah, Batei Midrashim, and major organizations. He is a close Talmid of the late Posek, Hagaon HaRav Shmuel Halevi Wosner ZATZAL.

The community had been searching for a Rov since the Petira of Hagaon HaRav Avrohom Tzvi Beck ZATZAL, who was Niftar this past June. Rav Beck had led the community for nearly 30 years.

Below are photos of Rav Kohen’s recent visit to Melbourne, followed by photos of the community voting.
