Berkshires  Perhaps you say that you agree with the quoted statement but you dont seem to get it  Yes it is true that the Beth Din will notdidnt decide who is or should be a Rebbe to whom They never took that power to themselves nor can I imagine that such power can even be granted But of course they were granted the power to decide who is the Bobover Rebbe who can use the name Bobov  Berkshires this is an obvious distinction one that I previously thought you were faking ignorance of I now realise that you may have very well been serious I will therefore try to explain it in more detail  Think for a moment if Rabbi Halberstam should decide tommorow that he no longer wants the title Bobover Rebbe he no longer wants he Kehilla to be named Bobov but rather some name of some other polish town Does that render him no longer Rebbe to his Chasidim The connection between a Rebbe and a Chossid has absolutley nothing to do with his title  There was a dispute in Bobov over assets over the title and over usage of the name Bobov and other names used by Bobov A very simple dry Din Torah The Beth din  gave to Rabbi Halberstam side all of Bobov assets the rights to the title the name Bobov and all other names used by Bobov That does not mean that Rabbi Unger isnt a Rebbe It doesnt even mean that he isnt a mamshich of his fatherinlaw or grandfatherinlaw The same way the first Bobover Ruv did not have the title Sanzer ruv but he was still a mamshich of Sanzer Ruv  Try to remove your emotions and be impartial and you may even understand the Beth Dins logic I am not saying you need to agree but perhpas if you stand back for a moment you can understand their decision  Putting aside all claims and counter claims as to who should have been selcted as the Rebbe of Bobov I know you must believe that the soninlaw should have been selected however there is almost unanimous consent between all Poskim that the will of the majority is respected The Beth Din made a clear finding within the Psak that Side  had a majority  If you follow that logic the Psak is self explanatory You have a Kehilla They made a decision as to their Rav and Rebbe A minority is unhappy They leave Can they get a part of the assets Can they use the name and title The Beth Din answered that question with its ruling  I went long here only because I feel a sort of denialist anger simmering within your writting and I dont think it is warranted I thought perhaps you can follow the logic  In any event the Beth din did make a decsion who has and can use the title Bobover Rebbe Rabbi Unger can no longer refer to himself as Bobover Rebbe   It would be appropriate for you to give this a rest
