Edgar Chaim Baruch Gluck (Glück) (born 14 June 1936, Hamburg, Germany) is currently the Chief Rabbi of Galicia. Subsumed into countries now part of Central and Eastern Europe, Galicia ceased to exist as a political entity, however Chasidim still refer to themselves as Galicianas.in 1921; the title of its Chief Rabbi had already been abolished by royal decree on 1 November 1786 as part of the Josephinism Reforms.[1] which makes Rabbi Gluck the first Chief Rabbi of Galicia since those times.
