Leah Elyashiv always knew she bore a name that carried greatness. The great-granddaughter of Rav Yosef Shalom Elyashiv zt”l, the soft-spoken girl grew up with her family yichus being an ancestral blessing, and at the same time, a daunting reminder of the responsibility it entailed.
“I remember sitting with my great-grandfather as a child,” Leah recounts. “Though I was too young to understand the full impact of his words, I could sense the kedusha in his voice, the kindness in his eyes.”
But nothing, not even growing up in such a special environment, could have prepared her for the world-shattering tragedy that befell her: Five years ago, Leah’s mother passed away.
