Interesting Letter from Rabbi Yosef Shalom Elyashiv to the Steipler - Cheshvan 1974
Draft letter (unsigned) handwritten by R. Yosef Shalom Elyashiv, addressed to his mechutan R. Yaakov Yisrael Kanievsky (the Steipler). Jerusalem, Cheshvan 1974.
Response to a letter from the Steipler, in which the latter apparently sought R. Elyashiv’s counsel on whether to act as mediator between two parties (presumably in a case of a dispute within the administration of a yeshiva). R. Elyashiv writes: "I received his honor’s letter… and behold, he writes that he does not understand the benefit which will emerge from it, and he is only writing to satisfy the pleas of... Although I also don’t know if anything will come of it, since many have already attempted to address the topic, and wasted their time and energy, with no success; there may possibly still be benefit in trying to send other, more prominent people, who will be acceptable to both sides, maybe they will be successful in mediating between them and bringing them to an agreement… and may G-d pour a spirit from above… to bring peace to the world, to the public and to individuals…". (According to various oral sources, the Steipler indeed travelled to Jerusalem together with R. Elazar Menachem Shach upon receiving R. Elyashiv’s letter, and met with the yeshiva staff, in attempt to reconcile the various sides).
R. Yosef Shalom Elyashiv (1910-2012), a foremost Halachic authority for over seventy years. He was reputed for his outstanding diligence and profound and wide-ranging knowledge of all realms of the Torah, enabling him to issue a clear ruling on any matter. In the last twenty years of his life, he led the Torah world in Eretz Israel and throughout the world. His eldest daughter married R. Chaim Kanievsky. His illustrious mechutan, R. Yaakov Yisrael Kanievsky - the Steipler (1899-1985), held R. Elyashiv in high esteem, and would refer halachic questions to him, as well as names to mention in prayer and for blessing.
