Reply To: Who is Rav Shlomo Kanievsky? Is he being groomed to be the next Godol HaDor?

There is an excellent book that came out two years ago called “Gedolim”. It selects many gedolim of the last two centuries from the chareidi world only and gives each a chapter. It is not hagiographic, rather it places each godol in the perspective of his time and surroundings, and discusses his hashkafa in Torah and Jewish society from an objective point of view. 28 Gedolim were selected to this “Hall of Fame”. Unfortunately for most of the readership here, it’s in Hebrew.
The editors are Benjamin Brown and Nissim Leon. They freely admit that the process of selection was close to impossible and that one may easily disagree with the chosen list. A terrific and enlightening book.
