Responsa of Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky - Manuscript of Halachic Responses, Never Published!
Unique and one of a kind!
A beautifully written and meticulously organized manuscript comprising 19 pages of handwritten questions on various topics in Torah, addressed to Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky zt”l, accompanied by his clear, precise, and sharp responses to each question. The manuscript was written over the years in Bnei Brak.
This is a historical, rare, and unique artifact—a responsa collection authored by Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky, one of the last Torah giants who possessed an unparalleled mastery of all areas of Torah. The content spans diverse and intriguing questions in Torah scholarship, covering *Halacha*, *Drush*, *Pilpul*, and *Pshat*.
Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky zt”l (1928–2022) was widely regarded as the spiritual leader of the Lithuanian Torah community in Israel and worldwide. He was perhaps the last unifying figure of his kind. Rabbi Kanievsky famously completed the entire Torah every year, studying eight pages of the Babylonian Talmud daily alongside the corresponding passages in the Jerusalem Talmud, as well as learning five pages daily from the *Tur* and *Shulchan Aruch*.
19 handwritten pages on lined paper, approximately 16x21 cm in size.
Condition: Very good.
