Among the hundreds of thousands attending the levaya of Maran Posek HaDor Maran Rav Elyashiv ZT�L was Maran HaGaon HaRav Aaron Leib Shteinman Shlita, who was present at the levaya for a number of hours. Alongside his vehicle was HaGaon HaRav Chaim Kanievsky Shlita [a son-in-law of the niftar zt�l], both given a police escort the entire time.

The two gedolim tore kriya on their left side reciting the bracha with Shem U�Malchus. Rav Shteinman asked Rav Kanievsky if he should recite the bracha with Hashem�s Name and Rav Kanievsky explained that at the time the Brisker ZT�L was niftar, his father the Steipler ZT�L instructed him to recite the bracha with Shem U�Malchus and as such, this is how they should act in this case, and so they did.
