Rabbi Avraham Yeshayahu Karelitz, author of Chazon Ish (1879-1954) one of the most brilliant Halacha and Jewish Philosophy authorities of our times. A great Torah scholar and hidden tzaddik. Published his first work, Chazon Ish anonymously, and from then on was known by the name of his book. After World War I, settled in Vilna. Rabbi Chaim Ozer who recognized his greatness persuaded him to become involved in guiding the Jewish people and with his immigration to Eretz Israel in 1933, sent many queries relevant to the Torah Settlement in Eretz Israel for his ruling. He encouraged revival of fulfillment of Jewish laws applicable to the land (Israel), and instigated the resurgence of contempary Torah life and Chassidut. Dozens Chazon Ish books were written and published on almost all Talmudical treatises, fruit of his intense labour and study. His letters have been compiled into a three-volume work, Kovetz Igrot – Chazon Ish 3 volumes.
