Chaim Kanievsky
Shmaryahu Yosef Chaim Kanievsky (Hebrew: ‫שמריהו יוסף חיים‬
Rabbi

‫ ;ַק נֶיבסִק י‬January 8, 1928 – March 18, 2022) was an Israeli Haredi
rabbi and posek.[2] He was considered a leading authority in Chaim Kanievsky

Haredi Jewish society.[3][4][5] Known as the "Prince of Torah", ‫זצ"ל‬

much of his prominence came through Torah education and
advice about Jewish law.[6][7] He was also informally a major
spiritual leader of the Lithuanian Jews, though holding no formal
post.[8]

Belarusian-born Kanievsky was the de facto head of the

Lithuanian branch of ultra-Orthodox Judaism, and was revered
as a consummate scholar of Jewish law and tradition, with
unimpeachable rulings.[9]

Biography Bnei Brak, Israel

Religion Judaism
Chaim Kanievsky was born in Pinsk, Poland (now in Belarus), to
Rabbi Yaakov Yisrael Kanievsky, known as the "Steipler Gaon", Spouse Batsheva Esther
and Rebbetzin Miriam Karelitz (Pesha Miriam: Pesha was Kanievsky
added[10]), sister of Rabbi Avraham Yeshayahu Karelitz, known as Children 8[1]: 24 
the "Chazon Ish".[2]
Parents Rabbi Yaakov Yisrael
When Kanievsky was six years old, the family moved to Kanievsky

Mandatory Palestine. After his immigration, he never left the (Pesaha) Miriam Karelitz
country, even briefly.[11][12] He worked hard learning torah in his
youth and was able to elucidate complicated rabbinic teachings as a young adult.[1] During the 1947–
1949 Palestine war, Kanievsky, then a student at the Lomza Yeshiva, served in the Israel Defense
Forces, guarding at an outpost overlooking Jaffa.[1]

Kanievsky was married to a daughter of Rabbi Yosef Sholom

Eliashiv, Batsheva Elyashiv, who died in 2011.[2] They had eight
children.

Kanievsky was the official rabbi and spiritual guide for the non-
profit organization Belev Echad, which was founded in Israel in
2011 and was dedicated to assisting sick and disabled children and
adults.[13][14] He received thousands of visits every year from Jews
seeking religious and Halachic advice.[15] Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky

Kanievsky died at his home in Bnei Brak on March 18, 2022, at

the age of 94.[16][17] Close to 850,000 mourners attended his
funeral on March 20, making it the second largest funeral in Israel
history afterwith Rabbi Ovadia Yosef's funeral which had more
than 850,000 in October 2013.[18]

Rabbinic career
Kanievsky became a major authority on all matters of Jewish law,
authoring several books about Jewish legal writings.[6][14] A visitor seeking Kanievsky's advice

From the death of Rabbi Aharon Yehuda Leib Shteinman in

December 2017 until his own death, Kanievsky, along with Ponevezh Yeshiva head Rabbi Gershon
Edelstein, was widely considered to be one of the leaders of the Israeli Haredi community.[19][20][21]

Kanievsky was known to study Torah 17 hours each day.[7] Eli Paley, the chairman of the Haredi
Institute for Public Affairs, a Jerusalem-based research group, told The New York Times in January
2021 that Israel's Haredi Orthodox community saw "their existence as relying on Rabbi Chaim and his
Torah learning".[7] He was regarded as the preeminent leader of the non-Hasidic portion of Israel's
Haredi Orthodox community as well.[6]

Halakhic rulings
In 2012, Kanievsky ruled that it is forbidden to possess or use a smartphone without individual
permission from a halakhic authority, and that owners are not allowed to sell their phones, but should
instead burn them.[22][23][24][25][26] In 2015, he instructed United Hatzalah paramedics that in the
event of a terrorist attack, they should not treat the terrorists before the victims, even if the terrorist is
more seriously injured, and they may even leave the terrorist to die.[27][28]

In 2016, Kanievsky declared that medicinal cannabis was kosher for Passover as long as the
possession of the cannabis is not in violation of the law of the land.[29]

In 2017, Kanievsky ruled that reporting instances of sexual child abuse to the police is consistent with
Jewish law.[30][31]

In 2011, he interpreted Arab Spring uprisings as evidence that the Messiah might be near.[32] In 2015,
following the 2014 Jerusalem synagogue attack, he repeatedly referred to the imminent arrival of the
Messiah, and urged diaspora Jews to make aliyah (immigrate to Israel), reportedly resulting in the

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaim_Kanievsky 2/7
3/21/22, 5:34 PM Chaim Kanievsky - Wikipedia

arrival of a substantial number of French Jews.[33][34] In February 2020, shortly before the Israeli
legislative elections, it was reported by one rabbi that Kanievsky had stated that the coming of the
Messiah was possibly imminent.[35]

Covid-19

At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Kanievsky

told his followers that the best ways to defeat the virus were to
avoid lashon hara (gossiping about one's peers), to strengthen
humility, and to place the needs of others before their own.[36] As
a result of the discussion, he was visited, on March 15, by senior
police officials who, with great respect, wanted to ask him of the
importance of following the orders of medical professionals with
regard to the outbreak.[36]
Kanievsky in December 2021
On March 29, after the ultra-Orthodox community was hit hard by
the virus,[37] with Bnei Brak having a high percentage of
coronavirus cases in Israel, relative to its population,[38] Kanievsky ruled that one who does not follow
the Israeli Health Ministry's guidelines on COVID-19 is in the position of a rodef, i. e., one who
pursues another with intent to kill, a murderer.[39] He also ruled that telephones may be answered on
Shabbat to get COVID-19 test results, and that minyanim must not meet at all during the pandemic –
a stricter requirement than the Health Ministry's rules, which at the time allowed congregations to
meet outdoors as long as participants are at least two meters (6 feet) distant from each other.[40]

On October 2, 2020, Kanievsky was diagnosed with COVID-19.[41] On October 28, 2020, his physician
said Kanievsky had recovered from the virus.[42]

Kanievsky endorsed vaccination for all, and wished experts success in the national campaign of
vaccination.[43]
