Legendary rabbi’s right in charge (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

iconic

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'legendary' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'rabbi's right in charge' is the wordplay.
'rabbi's right' becomes 'icon' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'in charge' becomes 'ic' (abbreviation for 'in charge').
'icon'+'ic'='ICONIC'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for iconic that I've seen before include "Like a symbol/image" , "Symbolic, emblematic" , "Like a venerated image" , "Symbolically representative" , "Relating to religious pictures" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
