Rav Shach was the pre-eminent leader of Lithuanian Jewry in the post-War period. His dominating personality had a profound effect on the religious, social and political outlook of Aschkenazic Torah Jewry, especially in Israel. Includes extensive honorific titles that Rav Shach extends to Rabbi Weintraub who ultimately, from a sense of personal humility, decided not to include in the published version of this work.
