1, New Entry Posted to Quora by Yair Davidiy.
Who is the highest ranking rabbi?
https://www.quora.com/Who-is-the-highest-ranking-rabbi/answer/Yair-Davidiy
Several different answers could be given to this question and all of them be valid according to the context intended.
The highest ranking rabbi in practice would be the leading halachic authority in the Land of Israel. He is the one who has the final word, who decides what is to be done when opinions are divided. Today this could be Rabbi Gershon Edelstein (born1923) head of the Ponevezh Yeshiva and the spiritual leader of the Degel HaTorah party in Israel. He has opponents. Not everybody agrees with him on every matter: Even in his own Yeshivah about half the students and staff rebelled, created their own rival framework, and set themselves up on more than half the premises. Nevertheless concerning what the Halachah- Law requires there is nobody at present who could be considered above him. Rabbi Gershon Edelstein is almost 100 years old! He belongs to the Ashkenazi Mainstream Hareidi sector.
In practice all other Orthodox groupings including the Hasidim, most of the National Religious, and the Sephardim would all accept his rulings though each group might have their own reservations.
Together with this there exist parallel levels of Hierarchy. The Government-Community Rabbinical Appointees are officially headed by a Chief Rabbi. He is over Rabbis of Cities and townships and Rabbis for special purposes such as conversions. In effect there are two of these, an Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi, and a Sephardic Chief Rabbi also known as the 'Rishon le-Tsion' i.e. 'Head of Tsion.' They comprise the heads of the Chief Rabbinate.
========
Wikipedia tells us:
Chief Rabbinate of Israel :
The Chief Rabbinate of Israel... is recognized by law as the supreme rabbinic authority for Judaism in Israel. The Chief Rabbinate Council assists the two Chief Rabbis, who alternate in its presidency. It has legal and administrative authority to organize religious arrangements for Israel's Jews. It also responds to halakhic questions submitted by Jewish public bodies in the Diaspora. The Council sets, guides, and supervises agencies within its authority.
The Chief Rabbinate of Israel consists of two Chief Rabbis: an Ashkenazi rabbi, and a Sephardi rabbi; the latter also is known as the Rishon leZion. The Chief Rabbis are elected for 10-year terms. The present Sephardi Chief Rabbi is Yitzhak Yosef, and the Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi is David Lau, both of whom began their terms in 2013.
The Rabbinate has jurisdiction over many aspects of Jewish life in Israel. Its jurisdiction includes personal status issues, such as Jewish marriages and Jewish divorce, as well as Jewish burials, conversion to Judaism, kosher laws and kosher certification, Jewish immigrants to Israel (olim), supervision of Jewish holy sites, working with various ritual baths (mikvaot) and yeshivas, and overseeing Rabbinical courts in Israel.
========
This is correct as far as it goes.
In practice it is unlikely that either of the Chief Rabbis would place themselves in a contrary position to Rabbi Edelstein. On the other hand there are some areas in which Rabbi Edelstein would probably not interfere. The Rabbi is against Yeshivah students being conscripted into the IDF BUT he has praised those who do serve.
========
# During a discussion on the Talmudic story involving two brothers who admit to a crime they didn't commit to save an entire city from retribution, Rabbi Edelstein expanded on the idea of self-sacrifice: 'What is nationalism? It is love of your people.' In widely reported comments, he went on to praise those who serve in the Israeli army. 'If a secular person is willing to sacrifice his life for the good of his people, than he is greater than you and greater than I,' he told his yeshiva students. #
========
In effect Orthodox Judaism all over the world toes the line. "Two Jews - three opinions" but a consensus of basic agreement is maintained.
There also exist "Rebbes" of Hasidic Courts but these too attempt to abide by a basic framework accepted by all.

2. BRING BACK THE EMPIRE!
Time to do what should have been done.
https://hebrewnations.com/articles/biblical-proof/blessings/empire.html
The Ten Tribes have the task in this world to continually upgrade themselves to reform and elevate the world, and to help Judah.
This is what the French, Dutch, and British Empire did, especially the British.
Then came the USA which in its own way did as much, or almost as much as all the others. For example the
GREEN REVOLUTION
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Revolution
Despite its faults the Green Revolution has kept a significant portion of world population alive and that at a mach higher standard than they previously had, or could otherwise have expected.
cf.
Abraham is the Key. The First Hebrew received Promises identifying all the rest!
https://hebrewnations.com/articles/biblical-proof/blessings/key.html
BY MYSELF I HAVE SWORN - Unconditionally.
Following the binding of Isaac the Blessings Henceforth became Unconditional.
All nations blessed in this people. They were expected to be a blessing to all other nations and also TO DO RIGHTEOUSNESS AND JUSTICE.
Strategic thoroughfares and passes as possessed in the past by the British and today by the USA, All nations blessed in this people. Numbering hundreds of millions - as interpreted by the "Chatam Sofer," Rabbi Moses Schreiber, 1762-1839, probably the foremost Rabbi of his age. Only Western Peoples, especially the English-Speaking ones, descendants of Joseph, have fulfilled all of these points.
cf.
Blessings to Abraham
https://hebrewnations.com/articles/biblical-proof/blessings/abraham.html
18 SINCE ABRAHAM SHALL SURELY BECOME A GREAT AND MIGHTY NATION, AND ALL THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH SHALL BE BLESSED IN HIM? 19 FOR I HAVE KNOWN HIM, IN ORDER THAT HE MAY COMMAND HIS CHILDREN AND HIS HOUSEHOLD AFTER HIM, THAT THEY KEEP THE WAY OF THE LORD, TO DO RIGHTEOUSNESS AND JUSTICE, THAT THE LORD MAY BRING TO ABRAHAM WHAT HE HAS SPOKEN TO HIM.
cf.
Master Plan. An Outline
https://hebrewnations.com/articles/bible/masterplan.html
The Ten Tribes before their Exile were already practically pagans and had assimilated pagan culture.
They were to lose consciousness of their ancestry, descend to the level of the pagans and become altogether like them.
Their membership of the Israelite Polity in the spiritual realm would be suspended.
They became the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel who today are to be found mainly among Western Peoples.
They were to go down to the level of the Gentiles, become like them, and then evolve upward dragging the non-Israelite peoples with them to a higher level.
Rabbi Mosheh David Valle (1697 - 1777 CE, Padua, Italy)::
Valle: # It is a known matter that Israel [i.e. the Ten Tribes] did not descend into the Realms of Pollution other than for the Need to Clarify his Destiny. He needed to fulfill the will of God and reform the world through redirecting its forces. When this is done they shall return to their Source. There will be no need to remain in that situation any more. This is the meaning of, 'Ephraim shall say, 'What have I to do anymore with idols?'" (Hosea 14:8). #
Hosea (NKJV) 14:
1 O Israel, return to the LORD your God,
For you have stumbled because of your iniquity;
2 Take words with you,
And return to the LORD.
Say to Him,
Take away all iniquity;
Receive us graciously,
For we will offer the sacrifices of our lips.
Time to Return to the Bible.
Western peoples are now in decline. They need to return to Biblical Values or rather to renew the urge of one day being able to achieve them.
The situation has changed.
We must face up to the Truth.
A higher degree of Hebrew-Ancestry Consciousness is now required.

Duration: 15.33 minutes
The USA is to a degree populated by descendants of the Lost Ten Tribes. Representatives of all the 13 Israelite Tribes are present but those of Joseph (Ephraim and Manasseh) are especially important. Many of the American States however also show significant input from other Tribes. Rhode Island has some of the characteristics of the Israelite Tribe of Asher. Rhode Island was once nicknamed "Rogues Island,"

Utah is actually missing Yah, meaning "Yah"-Utah...or Judah. They have the inversion of the sea of galillee and the dead sea. Theirs are oriented North / South. The fresh water Utah lake feeds into the Great Salt lake by the Jordan river. Identical to Israel.

God has revealed to me that I am a descendant of Joseph (Genesis) and I was born in Australia. My grandfather had a passion to look up our family history. We are descendants of a tribe of celts who ruled the lower half of Ireland at one point. If my recall of the spelling is correct, our name was O'Duffy, meaning black coat. Quite amazing of God, as Joseph had a coat of many colours. As at that time, my ancestors were no doubt away from God. But we came back and more is yet to come.

5. Feast of Succoth Coming Up.
Next week October 9, 2022, at sunset begins the feast of Succoth. It continues to Sunset October 17, i.e. 8 days since the Last Day, Shemini Atseret (Pentecost) is also a feast Day. The first and last days are Feast Days and the intervening days are semi-Holidays on which work is permitted but to a somewhat limited degree.
Extract from Past Years:
In Israel many people do not work throughout Succoth. Most shops and government offices are open for only half a day. Cafes, restaurants, hotels, synagogues all often have their own Sucoth. People build Succoth on their verandas and in their backyards and sometimes even on the pavement outside their houses!
Religious Jews during Succoth eat and in many cases also sleep in Succoth. A Succah in principle consists of at least two whole walls and one partial one and a roof of vegetation. In practice one will find all kinds of walls being used. There are Succoth that fit perfectly all the optimum most stringent requirements and there are Succoth that are really only "Kosher" in a de facto sense when there is no alternative. The roof of a Succah should be made of vegetable matter and should provide plenty of shade. In Israel many people use palm leaves for the roof. Palm leaves are attractive, clean, heavy enough not to be blown away by the wind and they provide plenty of shade. They are also long and convenient so that not a great number are needed. Instead of palm leaves other people use sugar cane matted together or sticks. Ordinary tree branches are also used. In Israel many local councils use the occasion to prune back trees in the public domain. It is the practice for workers of the local council to cut away the excess branches of all the trees in the neighborhood and then leave them in piles on street corners for the local inhabitants to take and use them for the roofs of their Succah.
The commandment to live in the Succoth only applies to the males but in practice the whole family usually eats together in the Succah.
Succot is a Festive happy occasion. In the Biblical Period it was harvest time. Many Jews will tell you that this is their favorite Feast. It is a time for the family to be together and taste something of outdoor living while not necessarily having to go outdoors.
In Biblical Times during Succoth there was ceremonial drawing up of the water from a spring near the Temple Mount. This was a very happy occasion and in memory of it throughout Israel one will find religious bands giving free concerts in the local squares and public places.
In the KJV the word Sukkah is translated as "booth".
The Feast of Succoth is called THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES [Leviticus 23:33-43].
The Bible says that we are commanded to keep the Feast of Succoth to remember the temporary dwelling we dwelt in when we came out of Egypt. Commentators add that an additional reason could be to tell us that everything in this world is temporary.
Traditionally the Book of "Kohelet" (Book of Ecclesiastes) is read during Succoth.
When the Ten Tribes separated from Judah, their king Jeroboam the son of Nebat, re-instituted the feast of Succoth using a different date [1-Kings 12:32].
Succoth begins on the 15th day of the seventh month. Jeroboam instituted a different festival on the 15th day of the eighth month.
Even today Christians who believe they are descended from the Ten Tribes often attempt to make their own changes to the Hebrew Calendar.
A Midrash says that Israel was exiled because they rejected the God of Israel, they did not want the Temple, and they despised the House of David. The Midrash quotes verses that refer to the Ten Tribes. The Ten Tribes were exiled and lost their identity. They lost awareness of their Hebrew ancestry. They became the Lost Ten Tribes. The Midrash says that Israel [meaning in this case the Ten Tribes] will be redeemed when they return and seek that which they rejected: The God of Israel, the Temple, and the House of David.
The Midrash then goes on to quote from Ezekiel chapter 37 that speaks of the return of the Ten Tribes and their re-unification with Judah meaning the present-day Jews.
Succoth is a Happy time and a time for the family.
This is an important point God wants you to do well and to be happy and to have a family. Not everyone achieves this but those who do should appreciate it. They who lack it should strive to gain it. This is the will of the Almighty. Do good and good will come unto you. This is the message of Succoth.

Jacob (aka Israel) Kept the Law of Tithing: Jacob linked his tithing to a Return to the House of his Father. We can do the same.
Genesis (NIV) 28:
18 Early the next morning Jacob took the stone he had placed under his head and set it up as a pillar and poured oil on top of it.
19 He called that place Bethel, though the city used to be called Luz.
20 Then Jacob made a vow, saying, 'If God will be with me and will watch over me on this journey I am taking and will give me food to eat and clothes to wear
21 so that I return safely to my father's household, then the LORD will be my God
22 and this stone that I have set up as a pillar will be God's House, and of all that you give me I will give you a tenth.'
Malachi 3:
10 Bring all the tithes into the storehouse,
That there may be food in My house,
And try Me now in this,
Says the LORD of hosts,
'If I will not open for you the windows of heaven
And pour out for you such blessing
That there will not be room enough to receive it.
Proverbs 3:
9 Honor the LORD with your wealth
and with the first of all your produce,
10 so your barns will be filled with abundance,
and your vats will burst open with new wine.
