Yeshiva World News — photo status

MOVING PHOTO: Maran HaRav Aharon Leib Shteinman zt”l lived a life of pure simplicity, immersed in Torah, mitzvos, and helping others, completely removed from any worldly pleasures. The photo above, taken when he was nearly 100, shows the Rosh Yeshiva on Tisha B’Av. Though too weak to sleep on the floor as was his custom, he asked for a stone to be placed on his bed, so he could feel the pain of the Churban in the most tangible way.
