Contary to the statement "recognized religious leader", Chief Rabbis are secular religious leaders. The distinction is that they are often recognised by other groups (states, other religions, etc) as individuals appointed from within the Jewish communities as a focus for contact. But they are not "Chiefs" in so far as they have any religious authority over other Rabbis or Jews. Although Rabbis "club" together in broad factions, e.g Orthodox, Conservative, Reform etc, and may have a "Chief", this individual acts more as spokesperson. They do not have anything like overall or substantive authority - in this was they fundamentally differ from a Pope or an Islamic authority able to proclaim a fatwā. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Excelis4 ( talk • contribs) 10:28, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
There's a gap between Rav Ovadiah Yosef and Rav Bakshi-Doron. Does anyone know what happened? JFW | T@lk 23:08, 3 Aug 2004 (UTC)
The title for Sephardi Hachamim should have a "c" in it, as that is how its pronounced by those who use the term. — Preceding

There are pictures of all the UK chief Rabbis on Dr Sacks website, would it be possable to add them to the individual Chief Rabbi's pages?
Why is the title of this article "Chief rabbi" rahter than "Chief Rabbi"? I would think that if there was an informal groups of rabbis, and one of them was the leader, he'd be the "chief rabbi". But if it is an official title, shouldn't both words be capitalized, like Secretary of State or Queen Mother?-- Keeves 12:46, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

Is he really the chief rabbi of Australia? Who appointed him? I always believed that OZ didn't have a chief rabbi, rather Victoria had Rabbi Ch. Gutnik, and NSW had Rabbi Apple. Hyim 14:36, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
It was more like, he is a chief Rabbi, and is in Australia. Not he is the chief Rabbi of Australia. Its all context mate ;) ems 14:13, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

I was forced to revert an anonymous user who changed the Chief Rabbi of Chile to Roberto Feldman. I can confirm that Rabbi Feldman does exist, but not that he is the chief rabbi. I await clarification on this point. Shalom ( Hello • Peace) 15:42, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
Chief Rabbis of the Edah HaChareidis. Is this within the scope of the list which seems more geographical as opposed to 'dynasty'-oriented? -- Shuki ( talk) 18:34, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

I'm surprised to find no UK chief rabbis represented here. Surely someone can remedy this. Bjenks ( talk) 09:34, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

The list of chief rabbis would be much easier to navigate and use if the city rabbis were listed under their respective countries.
Also, shouldn't the heading for "Grand Rabbi" be a separate item instead of being inside the template with the list?
PS. What does "The Far East" even mean? That's not a country. Did that rabbi oversee an entire continent? -- JDspeeder1 ( talk) 17:23, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
