Rav Chaim Kanievsky, like many of the world’s leading rabbanim, has been overwhelmed in recent months with stories of families so poor they can’t afford to properly feed their children. Meanwhile, other Jews around the world are striving for their own financial success, whether it be to run a successful business, or to marry off their children with dignity. The question on nearly everyone’s mind is: What will be with the parnassah of klal yisroel?

Struggles are not uncommon. Many times when a person is having major yissurim, friends and family will help them through. It’s not every day, however, that the person struggling is one of the most respected rabbanim in the world. And it’s definitely not every day that the friend is revered ‘Sar HaTorah’ Rav Chaim Kanievsky.
We seldom get looks into the personal relationships of the leading Torah scholars. In a recent heartfelt handwritten letter, however, Rav Kanievsky tells the story of a close friend in need.
