==== Rabbinical Assembly of 5670 (1910) ====
At the end of 5669 (1909), the government divided the territory of Russia into forty-two districts and announced elections that would be held at the beginning of the winter of 5670 (1910), in which Jewish residents would elect their preferred candidate for the Rabbinical Assembly.

The Rebbe Rashab conducted an extensive election campaign and sent representatives to the towns of Russia to encourage residents to elect religious rabbis as representatives, and he published a 'call to action' regarding the elections. In order to prevent the loss of votes, and based on what was agreed upon at the assembly in Vilna, in each district only one rabbi from the religious rabbis ran, and the results were satisfactory.
