Rebbe and Rav Chaim Kanievsky - a Deeper Look



This morning I learned of the background to Rebbe's meeting with Rav Chaim Kanievsky:

Rebbe went to daven at the Kotel, and ended up leading one of the minyanim as the ba'al koreh. Rebbe, of course, led his fellow Jews in prayer as he always does - with tremendous kavanah and intensity.

It so happened that Rav Chaim Kanievsky's shamash was davening at the the Wall that morning as well, and heard Rebbe's tefillah. He was so overwhelmed by the depth and sincerity of Rebbe's prayer, that he decided then and there, without knowing who Rebbe was, that Rebbe must meet Rav Chaim. And so he did.
