First Hand Anecdote About HaRav Shteinman zt"l

The well known educational figure, HaRav Moshe Blau, related: "I was once standing near to the Rosh Yeshiva when I heard one of his confidantes, HaRav A.

He was asking the Rosh Yeshiva to request the President of Israel to release him at least for the Seder night.

Just about six months later, he found out that Hakodosh Boruch Hu makes matches -- and how, as you will see in this surprising conclusion.
