Beit Din for all Ashkenazim communites, was the only Ashkenazi Beit Din in Jerusalem until the separation of the Eidah HaChareidit and part of the Chareidim established a group called ‘Vaad HaIr HaAshkenazi’ and their Beit Din the ‘Eidah HaChareidit’, at the end of that year 1919-1920.

At the head of the Beit Din stood and lead great sages of the world: Rabbi Moshe Nachum Walenstein, Rabbi Tzvi Pesach Frank, Rabbi Yonah Ram, Rabbi Lipman David Shuvaks, Rabbi Yitzchok Frankel, and Rabbi Yeruchem Fischel Bernstein and more. In the year 1920 with the appointment of the Gaon Rabbi Avraham Yitzchak HaKohen Kook as Rav of Jerusalem and the founding of the Chief Rabbinate, part of the Rabbanim separated and set up the ‘Vaad HaIr HaAshkenazi’, which later became the Eidah HaChareidis.
