I hope to do all that is required to promote, increase and enhance Torah, to establish more institutions of Torah and education, to cohere the communities and to hopefully restore the former glory of this country."

"Regal" was the word used by gedolei hador to describe Rabbeinu, the rov of Pressburg.
Just like Dovid Hamelech, who was always the king, whether at the height of his rule or as a fugitive on the run, so too Rabbeinu kept his regal bearing and royal manner in both good times and bad.
