With Harav Moshe Sternbuch
Compiled by his grandson and gabbai Rav Dovid Sternbuch

In the month of Adar II, 5784, a son was born to the previously childless, eighty-eight-year-old rosh yeshivah of Heichal HaTorah, Rav Tzvi Kushelevsky shlit”a. The news made headlines, spreading rapidly across Eretz Yisrael and the entire world.

Immediately after leaving the hospital, Rav Kushelevsky headed straight for the home of the posek hador, Rav Moshe Sternbuch shlit”a, to thank him for the brachah he had given him. Exactly nine months earlier, Rav Sternbuch had given him an explicit brachah for a son. Now, that son had indeed been born, shocking the medical world in Eretz Yisrael and beyond. It was a clear fulfillment of “A tzaddik decrees and Hashem fulfills.”

The home of posek hador Rav Moshe Sternbuch shlit”a, has served for many years as a lighthouse, illuminating the way and drawing all of Klal Yisrael close. The Rav receives throngs of visitors daily – some with halachic questions, some eager for a brachah, and others seeking guidance on personal or communal matters.

Now, for the first time, Rav Sternbuch’s family members and close talmidim have opened a window into the world of this gadol hador, offering a close-up view of his conduct, his outlook on life, and the open siyata d’Shmaya that constantly accompanies him.

Each and every anecdote presented here was heard firsthand and verified.

This is not a biography. It is the story of a life of Torah and kedushah: The life of a gadol in our midst.
