Honoree Presidents
Since the establishment of the Kolel, many rabbis have served as Honoree Presidents. The first Honorary President was Rabbi Chaim Halberstam of Sanz.
Today the Kolel has three Honorary Presidents in North America:
- Grand Rabbi Zvi Spira of Bluzov
- Grand Rabbi Shmuel Dovid Halberstam of Sanz Klausenburg
- Grand Rabbi Ben Zion Aryeh Leibish Halberstam of 48th street.
It also has an Honorary President in Europe: Grand Rabbi Leibish Leizer of Pshevorsk.

Famous quotes containing the word presidents:
“All Presidents start out to run a crusade but after a couple of years they find they are running something less heroic and much more intractable: namely the presidency. The people are well cured by then of election fever, during which they think they are choosing Moses. In the third year, they look on the man as a sinner and a bumbler and begin to poke around for rumours of another Messiah.”
—Alistair Cooke (b. 1908)
