A L’chaim for the Rav of Zhemigrad

When the post of Rav of Zhemigrad was offered to Rav Sinai in 5664 (1904), he was reminded of an incident from many years earlier. He had once been in Zhemigrad with his father for a simchah, and his father had publicly offered him a l’chaim as Rav of Zhemigrad. The chassidim of Zhemigrad had tried to protest, but the reigning Rav hushed them. “There is nothing to correct,” he said.

Rav Sinai then accepted the rabbonus of Zhemigrad.
