Ya'akov Yisrael Kanievsky (1899-1985), is an important source of inspiration of faith and trust. The Ponovezh mashgiach R. Yechezkel Lowenstein said that ”had he not seen the book Chayei Olam, he would not have believed that a person of such faith could be found in our generation”. (Toldot Ya'akov, p. 138), and he would encourage his disciples to study this book. The Steipler was accustomed to laboring over the editing and proofreading of his books.
