Handwritten Notebook on Yerushalmy by the Sar Hatorah Reb Chaim Kanievsky Zt”l.

33 sides written by Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky Zt”l.


It is known the giant work on the Yerushalmi Talmud, Toldos Yitzchak, which Rabbi Yitzchak Krasilschikov [1888-1965], known as the "Gaon of Paltova, wrote while he was in Moscow. He hid this twenty-volume work he had authored in manuscript form. His final request was that his manuscripts be rescued and taken out of Russia and printed. Leading Torah personalities were amazed by the commentary itself and the harsh conditions under which it was written. In recent years, many volumes of this giant work have been printed, under the guidance of Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky and his Chavrusa Rabbi Dov Weintraub.

In this notebook there are 33 sides of Chidushim and Ha'aros written by R' Chaim Kanievsky while R' Chaim Kanievsky was studying Yerushalmi with his Chavrusa R' Dov Weintraub and at that time they together put out the sefer "Toldos Yitzchak" by Rabbi Yitzchak Isaac Krasilshtzik.

At the end of the notebook there are about 10 sides written by R' Dov Weinstaub.


Maran Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky was known for his genius and his extreme knowledge and authored essays on many tractates, but his commentary on the  Talmud Yerushalmy is one of his main authors.


Maran Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky was born in Pinsk, Poland (now in Belarus), to Rabbi Yaakov Yisrael Kanievsky, known as the "Steipler Gaon", and Miriam Karelitz (Pesha Miriam: Pesha was added, sister of Rabbi Avraham Yeshayahu Karelitz, known as the "Chazon Ish".

When he was six years old, the family moved to Mandatory Palestine. After his immigration, he never left the country, even briefly. He worked hard learning Torah in his youth and was able to elucidate complicated rabbinic teachings as a young adult.

During the 1947–1949 Palestine war, Rav Chaim, then a student at the Lomza Yeshiva, served in the Israel Defense Forces, guarding an outpost overlooking Jaffa.

His father gave him explicit instructions to devote his time exclusively to learning, and not to giving shiurim (lectures), which he followed.The only known exception was in the year after his father's death, when he would give a complex shiur in Talmud Yerushalmi in his father's memory. He stopped immediately thereafter, claiming it took away time from learning. The amount of time it took him to prepare each lecture was five minutes.

Maran was known to study Torah 17 hours each day. He received thousands of visits every year at his house on Rashbam 23, from Jews seeking religious and halakhic advice. He was widely believed to have had Ruach Hakodesh (Holy Spirit)

He died at his home in Bnei Brak on March 18, 2022, at the age of 94. Around 750,000 mourners attended his funeral on March 20, 2022, making it one of the largest funerals in Israeli history.
