Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky Zt"l (1928-2022) was a revered Torah scholar and one of the most influential figures in contemporary Orthodox Judaism. Born in Pinsk, Poland (now Belarus), he moved to Israel where he lived a life dedicated to intense Torah study. Known for his prodigious memory and deep understanding of Jewish texts, R' Chaim was often consulted for halachic rulings, becoming one of the leading poskim of his time. His home in Bnei Brak was a hub for Torah scholars seeking guidance. His prolific writing included works on Talmud, Halacha, and Mussar, with his "Derech Emunah" series being particularly notable. Despite his immense scholarship, he was known for his humility and simplicity. After the passing of his father, the Steipler Gaon, R' Chaim continued and expanded upon his legacy, becoming a central figure in the Haredi community. His teachings and rulings continue to shape Jewish practice and study worldwide.
