Rabbi Aharon Mendel HaKohen Bahara"n [1866-1927] was a native of Tiberias, a gaon and an author. He was appointed Ashkenazic rabbi of Cairo in 1894 and served there approximately 30 years. He is known especially known for his wide-ranging activities to renew "semichah" (some of the items here deal with this issue). He arranged the "Krakow Assembly" of 1903 in this framework, established "Agudat HaRabbanim," and after WWI, established the Knesset Yisrael association and worked to establish a central Beit Din [something of a Sanhedrin] in Jerusalem. He wanted to establish a council called "Knesset HaGedolah," and established a rabbinical association numbering over 500 members across the Jewish world. Following this initiative, he also assembled a World Congress of sages in Krakow in 1903. " To take counsel on raising the flag of the Torah and seek a proper and desirable way to close the breaches and build up the distant."
Varying conditions. Overall fine condition.
