The manner of their appointment was invariably coloured by intrigue, in-fighting and a host of other influences, not least an increasingly potent input by the dayanim of the London Beth Din, themselves not immune to strategic self-interest. Meir Persoff's scholarly yet accessible account of these seven appointments draws on a wealth of hitherto unaccessed and unpublished material, and on the stories of many of the protagonists involved, including in fascinating detail those who, by fair means and foul, failed to gain (or chose to reject) the coveted prize. 410 0$aJudaism and Jewish Life 606 $aRabbis - Selection and appointment - England 606 $aRabbis$xSelection and appointment$zEngland 606 $aReligion$2HILCC 606 $aPhilosophy & Religion$2HILCC 606 $aJudaism$2HILCC 608 $aElectronic books. 615 4$aRabbis - Selection and appointment - England. 615 0$aRabbis$xSelection and appointment 615 7$aReligion 615 7$aPhilosophy & Religion 615 7$aJudaism 676 $a296.67 700 $aPersoff$b Meir, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut.$01026220 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910465626103321 996 $aHats in the Ring$92467848 997 $aUNINA
