.....וזרח השמש ----- עד שלא

















The handwritten note written by Reb Chaim Kanievski yesterday, passes the torch from his shver, Rav Elyashiv, who is very ill, r"l, to Reb Aron Leib Shteinman, zol gezunt zein. It's not clear if Rav Elyashiv himself told his son-in-law to pass the torch, or if it was done on his own, since RYSE has not been conscious, as far as we know, for some months now. Sources close to the matter say that is closely related to the fact that Rav Elyashiv is gravely ill, and the clamor to replace him has already begun. A recent sign of that change has been at the Israeli Yated Ne'eman, no relation to the American newspaper of the same name, where the old guard that was close to the late Ponovizher Rosh Yeshiva was unceremoniously thrown out and replaced by Rav Shteinman's people. Reb Aron Leib is not considered a follower of the true "Torah Haskafah" that the late Ponovizher Rosh Yeshiva handed down over the years. Neither is Rav Elyashiv, for that matter, but his leadership was uncontested, now that he's sidelines the fights can begin. The factions here are many, ואי אפשר לפורטם, and you can give yourself a migraine trying to figurer it out. I was asked how can I be "sleeping" at a time like this? You all know that I don't just report the dry news, I need to have an "angle," something to set me apart. Which is why I waited until this fell into my lap. It doesn't reflect on how I fell about Reb Aron Leib, whose tzidkus is undisputed, it just gives you a feeling as to what others feel, even if they claim to be respectful of Torah and talmidei chachomim...

 The following is a true story about the נצי"ב of Volozhin, זצ"ל, as told by הרב אברהם יהושע סאלאווייציק of Yerushalayim:

The Netziv, Rav Naftali Tzvi Yehuda Berlin, lived in Lithuania during the 19th Century. Him and his brother-in-law, Reb Yitzchok Fried, were sons-in-law of Reb Itzele Volozhiner, son of Reb Chaim Volozhiner, the Yeshiva's founder. After his first wife passed Reb Hirsh-Leib Berlin married the daughter of the בעל ערוך השלחן. He was one of the most famous Rabbonim of his generation, and it's said that in the 40 years he headed the yeshiva in the town of Volozhin, some 10,000 students studied there. Many of them went on to lead communities and Yeshivos of their own. (a list of famous alumni can be seen here) The Netziv wrote commentaries on all parts of the Torah, and once, when he'd published a particularly difficult work, called "HaEmek Shayla," he called together his friends for a special celebration, where he told them the following story:

"When I was a child, I never paid attention in school. I was lazy and did not want to concentrate. Then one day when I was 11 years old, I came home from school and heard my parents talking. My father was explaining how he'd spoken to my teacher and together they'd concluded that I'd never amount to anything in terms of scholarship. So, my father explained, he was arranging to enroll me as an apprentice shoemaker as soon as I became Bar Mitzvah. "I was so shocked by this conversation that I ran to my parents and exclaimed: 'I'm sorry I've been so negligent with my studies. Please give me one more chance to prove that I'm a good student.' And from that day onward, I applied myself to the study of Torah with tremendous vigor and dedication. Since then I have not wasted a moment and it is that devotion which has enabled me to write the commentary which we are celebrating today." Then the Netziv continued: "But just imagine what would have happened had I not overheard my parents' conversation. I'd probably have ended up as a shoemaker. And I'd have been a pretty good shoemaker besides! But think of what would have happened at the end of my life when I'd get up to the Heavenly Court and they'd ask me: 'Naftali, (or Hirsh Leib - HT) show us what you've done with your life.' And I'd proudly show them my beautiful shoes: the fine workmanship, the quality leather and the exquisite design. "And then they'd ask me: 'But Naftali, where are all the books you were to publish? Where are your 10,000 students?'" The Netziv continued: "And what would I possibly respond??" Reb Avraham Yehoshua said that when Rav Shteinman reaches heaven, they'll ask him "Where are the shoes?!"

And this is where today's best and brightest end up. In Brisk...

  1. he was not talking about rav aharon leib. i was there. he was talking about someone else.
    you seem unaware that rav aharon leib is a brisker himself. he grew up in brisk and was childhood (and lifelong) friends with rav berel, rav dovid and rav refoel. he was the only maspid by rav berel's levaya and is extremely close to the solo family. all his kids and eineklach learned either by rav dovid, or rav a.y. and several became very close to them. (his eidim rav z. berlin is one of rav dovid's closest talmidim as is his son Moishe)
    i'm not sure why you took this chance to attack brisk but you really missed the boat as your reporting was wrong (the shiur was almost 15 years ago btw.)

  2. Tzig that joke is older then the hills - I heard it in Beis HaTalmud 28 years ago. As someone who learned in Brisk I can assure you although RAYS does not agree with RAyLS he never said this about him. Many of RAYlS learned in Brisk when I was there. RAYLS son in law is a big Brisker. RAYLS is from Brisk d'lita.

  3. R' Tzig,

    Did you really need to bring this story from R.A.J. and give me a 'sick to the stomach' feeling.

    My understanding is that R.A.J. says these statements to create a persona around himself, much like certain chabad figures (B. Shemtov is a good example). That certainly does not excuse the despicable behaviors, but most mature people don't take these people very seriously.

    Such an irresponsible story does not belong on a public forum and serves no purpose.

    Thanks,

  7. I have issues with the concept of this story....

    I try to raise my kids to be the best they can be under the circumstances Hashem or destiny cut out for them.

    I was raised with this warped Chinuch mentality that I have to grow up to be some fantasy גדול הדור that I guess my parents had in mind when they made me!!


    That is sick, wrong, dangerous and evil! I was never able to please them! Was never good enuf!! If I scored a 100 on a test, then the big "NUUU" would come... Why didn't you know the extra credit, and then if I had that correct as well, it was.... A boy like you should have a nicer penmanship! וכהנה וכהנה ......


    I also overheard them (or they made sure I overheard....) ער וועט דאך איוסוואקסען א טראקדרייווער/he will grow up to be a truckdriver/ ......


    Well Totty oh do I wish you would have sent me to truckdriving school Or shoemaking or the likes of it!


    I grew up as you would say... נישט צו גאט אין נישט צי לייט not a Yid nor a goy!!


    Please please parents!!! Embrace your dear kids, give them the unconditional love they desperately need, help them develop Thier true inner personality that you can't really change but you can really mess up!!


    I now have 8 kids of my own, trying very hard to provide for them an emotionally healthy environment, if one is gonna be a shoemaker then he should be a good one and be proud of in Shumayim!!!!but guilty I remain that I'm putting them thru the same Sh*tty warped chinuch system I went through.


    Im guilty of violating the חזקה our sages told us that אין אדם מוריש שקר לבנו....


    But I believe that the time is coming and the facade of the bullsh*t "so called Yiddeshkiet" is gonna crumble!


    A time is coming when the next generation is just gonna say to all those clowns wearing the בגדי צבעונים enuf is enuf STOP DRINKING AND LIVING OFF OUR BLOOD!!!!!

    והוקע אותם לה׳ נגד השמש!

    I came across a few of the best and brightest of brisk, and.. Nothing to be ashamed of.

    Although brisk should be credited for trying to accept those talmidim with 'somewhat' a mesorah background, and trying to avoid learning to talmidim sheinim mehigunim! Which is prevalent by other litvishe yeshivas?

  19. Tzig,

    For the life og me I don't understand the point of repeating such stories. It brings no kavod to Lubavitch or to anyone else, including you.

    Now that a number of commentators have pointed out that you probably got the names mixed up (see The Brisker Rav to see how close R"S was to Bais Brisk) shouldn't you remove the story until you clarify it's veracity?

  22. “it's said that in the 40 years he headed the yeshiva in the town of Volozhin, some 10,000 students studied there”

    Extremely unlikely. That would assume 250 students yearly, each staying for only one year. The 250 student is true of the yeshivas peak times, but most stayed for a number of years. So if there were 250 student at a time, each staying for two years that would be only 5,000 students. And many students stayed for longer than two years!

  56. JJJ: "satmar is able to denigrate Rav AY Kook to the point that his name is equal to Hitler ym"s. That is one example. "

    That is one 'deserved' example, and how about rav shach the rosh of the AGUDAH! denigrating the lubabvitcher rebbe and leaving a 'mesorah' that a whole kehila shlima is not in klal yisruel??

    "MBB and Lev tohar are very pious guys maybe a little over worked and looking for the olem haames in an olem hashker, the Lev tohar while on the run knocked on my door one erev shabos asking if he can stay, which of course he stayed he is a little sharf but a nice sincere (non lubab style) BT!
    btw, where does those two guys come in when the talk was of: moshe rabeinu, gidon, chasam sofer?"
    Mamesh mamesh they are the Role Mosdels of Klal yisroel... all because they are no Lubab

    Tzig,
    This post is real motzi shem ra on Rav Avrohom Yehoshua. It is known that he said this charifus regarding the heintige mechabrei sfarim, no mention of Rav Aharon Leib.
    You should take this down or edit it.

    "he said this charifus regarding"
    in my book its Lietzunas not charifus,
    Can you give us a new original vort of the great charif AJ...... not a vort that he repeats from his father....
