About The Author: Harav Tzvi Weissfish, shlita, Rosh Yeshivas Haran, is the author of the twenty-volume Dibros Tzvi and son-in-law of Harav Hagaon Reuven Fein, zt"l, Rosh Yeshivas Torah Vodaas. When he contemplated founding Mosdos Yeshivas Haran, his great-uncle, Harav Yaakov Yisrael Kanievsky, the Steipler Gaon, zt"l, instructed him, "There is a Yid in Yerushalayim called Harav Yosef Shalom Elyashiv who lives in Meah Shearim. He is a very great man, a gadol hador; any questions you have - ask him." For the next thirty years Rav Weissfish maintained close contact with Harav Elyashiv, who allotted him a special time each week for consultation. The Yeshivas Haran network, with thousands of students comprising one of the largest mosdos in Eretz Yisrael, was the only institution directed by Harav Elyashiv on a daily basis.

- Inspiration for lifeI bought this book for my Rav as a gift. He was in Eretz Yirael when the book arrived at my house. It sat on the table for a few days and then one afternoon I picked it up to glance through.
Well, I couldn't put it down. The words and stories warmed my heart and raised my neshama to a higher level.Posted on
- Couldn't put the book downI'm almost 1/2 way through the book and I couldn't put it down. It's timely to start a new year with this book as it gives the right perspective on life per Rav Elyashiv, zt"l. May the gems culled from this book help me navigate through a meaningful 5776.
