I have never been able to verify this story. Can someone?
Supposedly R’ Elyashiv Shlita was asked to be sandek at the bris of a great-great (maybe only on great?) grandson. He refused to go because it would be a difficult trip roundtrip yerushalayim/bnei brbak and would result in him missing out on a lot of learning in hi sneed to rest from such a trip. The grandchildren supposedly dangled the argument that it is a segulah for a guaranteed ticket to olam habbah to be the sandek for a great great (1 great?) grandson. He supposedly replied that he would rather earn his olam habbah the old fashioned way.
Has anyone heard of this story? Is it verifiable? Part of it?
