Chosen as Rov Through the Power of Tehillim

Chosen as Rov Through the Power of Tehillim:

A city near Pressburg was once seeking a new Rov. The two candidates for the position were both great talmidei chochomim. One was a leading student of the Chasam Sofer zy”a, and the other was also known as a tremendous tzadik who spent a lot of time reciting Tehillim. Understandably, the Chasam Sofer advocated on behalf of his talmid but, in the end, the other candidate was chosen. When he heard the town’s decision, the Chasdam Sofer said, “What Tehillim can accomplish, I cannot accomplish.”
