Rav Elyashiv had a very good job as a Dayan for the Rabbanut Beis Din. He retired rather than
compromising on something he felt was right.
Honesty
A few years ago, Rav Elyashiv needed some electrical repairs done in his apartment. While the
electrician was working, he learned that his daughter, Rebetzin Shoshana Zilberstein, had passed
away. As he was preparing to go to the funeral, he asked his grandson to find out how much he owed
the electrician. Only after he wrote a check to the worker, did he go to the funeral of his daughter.
A Miraculous Life
Rav Elyashivs parents were childless for seventeen years before he was born. Rav Elyashivs
daughter, Reb. Sarah Yisroelson, said that her father was very ill when he was a child and as an adult.
They thought he wouldnt survive but Klal Yisrael needed him. Rav Elyashiv is currently very sick.
We should daven for HaRav Yosef Shalom ben Chaya Mousha
Importance to Klal Yisrael
When Rav Elyashiv was 94, he needed heart surgery. Many surgeons refused to do the operation, but
one doctor, Dr. Daniel Clair agreed. Dr. Clair flew from the United States. to Israel to do the surgery.7 years later, when Rav Elyashiv was 101, the doctor came back to do another surgery. Thousands of
Jews davened at the kotel. Shimon Peres, a secular man who is the President of the State of Israel,
came to thank the doctor. Mr. Peres told the doctor that this surgery was important to the safety of
Klal Yisrael and Eretz Yisrael.
This is what the doctor, Dr. Daniel Clair, a non-Jew said: Taking into account that he is 101, when I
initially walked into his hospital room, he was sitting at a desk studying. I began talking to him about
the surgery and he asked the most insightful questions. . . . This was very impressive for someone at
that age - he was so with it and involved in the decision-making.
In addition, I dont know how to explain it, but he is obviously a very special person. I could identify
that immediately when I first met him. His presence generates a feeling of reverence. When I
returned home with him after the procedure, I got a better sense of how great he is, as there were fifty
to one hundred people at his home, waiting to see him. I cant imagine his importance to the
community.
The Address for all matters of Torah.
Rabbi Orlofsky once went with his mashgiach for advice about a complicated question. He went to
one gadol, and it took a long time to get an answer. His mashgiach then brought him to Rav Elyashiv.
In the small apartment was a Rosh Yeshiva, avreichim, businessmen and a woman with a chicken all
there to ask questions. When it was Rabbi Orlofskys turn, Rav Elyashiv immediately answered him
in one sentence that put the question to rest.
Answering Klal Yisrael
In 2004, Rav Dunner went to India and found out that many sheitels were made with hair that had
been used to worship Avodah Zara. The Halacha is that one may not even get pleasure from
something used for Avodah Zara. Rav Elyashiv paskened that women in Eretz Yisrael could not wear
sheitels until they found out whether the sheitels came from India or not. Overnight, women stopped
wearing these sheitels because Rav Elyashiv had paskened they were forbidden to wear. All over the
world, women gave up expensive sheitels because of the psak of the Gadol HaDor.
