Rav Shternbuch being anti-Zionist[edit]

Hi Shirulashem. Have you ever heard of the Edah HaChareidis? Rabbi Shternbuch happens to be its Ravad (2nd Chief Rabbi). Let's see: [1]. If you want more, check [2] and [3]. And if you don't believe that he is their Chief Rabbi, then check [4] . His name is also on all of the Edah's declarations against Zionism, such as this one: [5]. So, please stop deleting this content from the article. --Piz d'Es-Cha (talk) 15:04, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

We as Wikipedia editors owe it to the subjects of the articles to make sure that everything is accurate. Therefore, especially when it comes to biographies of living persons, content must be PROPERLY SOURCED. I can't say this strongly enough: as per policy, you may NOT reintroduce this material unless you put in an appropriate footnote. shirulashem (talk) 00:52, 3 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have time for that now, since I do have a life. I am warning you: stop deleting this. I have brought you plenty of references here showing that 1) Rabbi Moishe Sternbuch is the Chief Rabbi of the Edah HaChareidis, and 2) that the Edah HaChareidis is a virulently / rabidly / strongly / extremely (depending on the source) anti-Zionist organization. If you insist on turning this into a footnote, go ahead yourself. If not, I might do it later some time. Right now, stop deleting this from the article. --Piz d'Es-Cha (talk) 15:00, 3 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Rabbi Sternbuch is NOT the Chief Rabbi of the Edah. That position is held by Rabbi Yitzchok Tuvia Weiss. --Redaktor (talk) 13:53, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

He is the Ravad. R' Weiss is the Gavad. Chesdovi (talk) 14:36, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That's why I wrote "2nd Chief Rabbi". As in, vice-chief rabbi. That's pretty much what the Ravad is, in contrast to the Gavad. Like a Vice President. You could also write, more literally, "Head of the Court" but then how would you explain Gavad? --Piz d'Es-Cha (talk) 15:00, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't something be said about the Yeshiva he now heads, which has moved around a few times and is now I believe permanently in Beit Shemesh? — Preceding unsigned comment added by POR613 (talk • contribs) 23:35, 24 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ga'vaad - Ra'avad controversy[edit]

On July 20 a rabbi from London announced that R' Moshe is the Successor of the late Ga'avad, and appointed him as the Ga'vad of the Eidah Hachareidit. According to Eidah bylaws, such an appointment can only be made after a vote by the relevant committee, and this vote has not taken place. Therefore this appointment was illegitimate, and he remains the Ra'vaad until further notice by the committee. 185.182.71.19 (talk) 11:41, 24 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
