n an age of sound bites and
celebrity seekers, Rabbi Yosef
Shalom Elyashiv, who died July
18, 2012, at age 102, represented a
world apart.
The head of the Lithuanian haredi
Orthodox community in Israel,
Elyashiv was a Torah sage who
shunned the limelight, dedicating
himself single-mindedly to the pur-

Jewish law.
Until February, when Elyashiv was
hospitalized in critical condition for
congestive heart failure, he was still

"He was answering questions
up until the day he was taken to
the hospital," said Rabbi Nahum
Eisenstein, an authority on
