As we read through Rav Chaim Kanievsky on Chumash, we can almost hear the voice of this incomparable gadol b'Yisrael, in his Torah insights, his guidance in all matters large and small, and, particularly, in his stories, warm and personal, of his illustrious family. Here we will read about his father, the Steipler Gaon; his father-in-law, Rav Elyashiv; his uncle, the Chazon Ish; and, of course, his wife, Rebbetzin Batsheva Kanievsky.

Rabbi Shai Graucher is an almost-daily visitor to Rav Chaim. He pored through all of Rav Chaim’s many Torah writings, learned with him, and collected his insights and comments on the Chumash. He has been privileged to hear many stories directly from Rav Chaim and his family and these, too, are included. Everything has been adapted and translated for maximum readability and clarity
