The Chazon Ish Rabbi Avraham Yeshaya Karelitz (1879-1954) was one of the leading Gedolim in the previous generation who spearheaded efforts to rebuild the Torah world after the Holocaust. His guidance and pure philosophies serve as foundations and pillars of charedi society in Eretz Yisrael until this very day.
When the Chazon Ish still resided in Lithuania, Rabbi Chaim Ozer Grodzinski would often send Jews to seek his blessing and counsel. Upon arriving in Eretz Yisrael, the Chazon Ish settled in Bnei Brak, where his home became a magnet for Jews who sought his blessings for health and salvation.
