Bnei Moshe
I agree with that a book on soccer is not a good source for this article. However, Haparsi's claim that there was no such community as Bnei Moshe is wrong. There are many sources on the group and its interaction with Rav Kook. For example, this source. Search for "Bnei Moshe" and "Kook" (including the quotes) at Google Books and Google Scholar for more. Probably the literature in Hebrew is much greater still. Someone who is more familiar with this subject than I am should add a paragraph to this article. Zerotalk 01:58, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

The book "Zionism and Religion" edited by S. Almog et al has a lot on Bnei Moshe. Enough that it ought to have its own article. Zerotalk 02:15, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Bnei Moshe were no a community but more of a club in the style of free masons. The whole description as being the majority in Jaffa and inviting Kook to be their Rabbi is weird. The claim that they were related to the Subbotniks is again false. The book also describes Zvi Nishri as being Christian. Haparsi (talk) 07:59, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
 * The free masons consider themselves a community; let's not debate the meaning of words. Bnei Moshe was a small organization that might have become important but never did. You are certainly correct that it did not form a majority in Jaffa. I don't find it bizarre that Ahad Ha'am would have sought the involvement of Rav Kook, but I don't have a source for it.

First Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi ever
HaRav Kook was the first Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi ever in Palestine. It was a position that was introduced by the British. During the Ottoman times there was only a Sefardi Chief Rabbi. Jokkmokks-Goran (talk) 23:00, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
