Who do you think is the most famous/learned/influential/greatest currently living Rabbi of your "sect"

The question is pretty self explanatory. it's my impression that most "sects" nowadays don't have a clear living "leader", some for a longer time some only recently and some never really had one to begin with. Who do you think is the closest to feeling that role in your sect today, not necessarily by being an actual leader but by having influence, fame or just being gifted/learned?

It is also believed to be the day of Rabbi Shimon bar-Yochai's death, in this image Jews are celebrating at Mount Meron (where Shimon bar-Yochai is believed to be buried) in an old Hasidic tradition to celebrate the death anniversary of pious men
