Product Description
"I once saw my father the gaon Reb. Chaim writing a letter to Reb Yehoshua Leib zt"l," related the last rov of Brisk, HaRav Yitzchok Zev Soloveitchik zt"l. "He dipped his nib into the ink and was suddenly seized by a trembling, and was unable to continue writing. A cold sweat broke out on his forehead as he got up and began pacing up and down the room -- until he sat down again and wrote: Lichvod. Again his whole body began to shake and tremble violently as he tried unsuccessfully to decide with which title to address the holy gaon. If the mighty cedars are so struck, what should we puny bushes say?"
