Rabbi Yaakov Yisrael Kanievsky (1899 – 1985), known
as the Steipler, was a leading Torah figure of the past
generation. Writing his novellae was a holy task which
the Steipler held in great importance.
Before writing his
novellae, he would immerse in the mikvah, and used a
special pen to write these Torah thoughts. He invested
tremendous efforts in explaining with precise wording to
ensure clarity. In these writings as well, it is evident that
he exuded much effort into editing his work.
