Jacob Joseph (1848-1902) studied at the Yeshiva of Volozhin, before his appointment as Rabbi of Vilna in 1883. In 1888 he was called to the United States to assume the newly created post of Chief Rabbi of the Orthodox Congregations of Russian Jews in New York City, unfortunately this sweeping position died when he did.
