Detailed
Description		    In 1899 when R. Samuel Salant reached an advanced age and asked for a successor to be appointed chief rabbi of Jerusalem, extended negotiations with rabbis of the Diaspora began. At the recommendation of R. Hayyim Ozer Grodzinski of Vilna, R. Elijah David Rabinowitz was officially appointed in 1901. The poster promotes a Hasidic rabbi from Zfat instead. R. Rabbinowitz was nevertheless appointed and he succeeded in uniting the Jerusalem community, which was split into various kolelim and suffered from inner dissension between the perushim (the non-hasidic Ashkenazi community) and the Hasidim, and in forming a single organization for shehitah. He was also active in many communal spheres. He was the first treasurer of the Bikkur Holim hospital, made regulations for institutions of learning and charity - particularly in the yeshivah Ez Hayyim, and arranged strict supervision of shops and merchants. His local regulations and customs are still in force, included in the annual calendar which is published by the Ez Hayyim yeshivah. The most famous of his sons-in-law, R. Abraham Isaac ha-Kohen Kook, published a special brochure entitled Eder ha-Yakar (1906, 1967) describing his father-in-law's personality and quoting his testament, which shows the extraordinary humility and modesty of its author, and 20 of his letters.
