About Rabbi Silberhaft as ‘guest rabbi’ in PE’s Shabbos Project
I refer to the recent article regarding the Shabbos Project in Port Elizabeth which appeared in Jewish Report.

I was under the impression that Rabbi Moshe Silberhaft is the country communities rabbi and I was therefore very surprised to read that he was the guest rabbi in a community which has a rabbi and which also had a visiting rabbi/chazan.
Surely a community without a rabbi, such as Oudtshoorn, Kimberley, Bloemfontein, etc, would have benefited more from his visit, especially on that particular Shabbat?
