A student in Telz, Rabbi Elyashiv (Eliasov prior to Eretz Yisrael) became an outstanding scholar and Kabbalist of great renown whose masterpiece was the multi-volume Leshem Shevo Ve’achlama (1909-12). He taught Kabbalah to a young Rav Kook and with the latter’s assistance, moved in 1922 to Eretz Yisrael, along with his daughter, son-in-law and grandson - the young R. Yosef Shalom Elyashiv.
