Kohen greats

Great kohanim have lived and contributed to halacha and torah growth throughout jewish history without much realization that they where in fact kohanim or/and how their kohanic lineage contributed to their torah success.

It is here that we will present biographies on those kohanim who -some more well-known than others- made a significant and popular contribution to torah and judaism. It is here where you will find that precious correlation between kohanim and torah instruction and realize that connection with real kohen personalities.

In composing these articles, we’ve put an eye towards presenting the kohen’s contribution to torah observance and instruction. Whether it was through writing or public-oration, these kohanim made significant contributions to torah growth and are truly attention-deserving to today’s kohen;

I saw your seforim. They are nice. I hope you will continue on. Currently only 8 pesukim are covered.

As far as Cohanim Greats, some recent names come to mind that were omitted.

They are the Ohr Sameach, Chafetz Chaim, The Mahrsham, Rav Kook and Rav Pam.

Hopefully, you will expand this list.

Looking forward to your future publications.

Rabbi Meir David Ben Yehezkal Shraga Hakohen.. who single handedly took on the Soviet Union to free Russian Jewry… and was not only successful. .but received nary a thank you from the Israeli government or Russian Israel politicians such as Shransky, Liberman etc.. or from any organized Jewish organization.. Orthodox or otherwise.. nor from this website..
