In Tzfat Rabbi Yakov Beirav made an attempt to re-establish the Smicha, based on the ruling of the Rambam that if all the sages of Eretz Yisroel would together agree and appoint a leading judge, he would officially be allowed to rule monetary rulings and give over the Smicha to others. A renewed Simcha would allow for the creation of an official Sanhedrin, which in turn could Halachacly give Malkes. This would create the opportunity for the many Marranos to erase the sins of their former lives that deserved Kares. | In Tzfat Rabbi Yakov Beirav made an attempt to re-establish the Smicha, based on the ruling of the Rambam that if all the sages of Eretz Yisroel would together agree and appoint a leading judge, he would officially be allowed to rule monetary rulings and give over the Smicha to others.
