Maran Sar Hatorah Hagaon Harav Chaim Kanievsky ztz”l said that “the place is the most auspicious for tefillah."

Since his passing, and for decades, the burial site of the Chazon Ish, the Beis Hachaim Shomrei Shabbos in Bnei Brak, has become a lodestone for tens of thousands of Jews who come to pour out their hearts and entreat with tefillos and supplications for the yeshuah of the individual and the community.

Every day one can see minyanim gathering around his grave which is surrounded by lights, in the center of the cemetery in Bnei Brak, pouring out their hearts in tefillah for yeshuah and mercy. On Thursday nights, there are even more who come to daven and be saved, with many relating the incredible miracles they experienced when their name was recalled in the tefillos at the Chazon Ish’s burial site, and the entire book of Tehillim (Psalms) was recited.

It is well-known that Maran Sar Hatorah Hagaon Harav Chaim Kanievsky, the Chazon Ish’s nephew and student, would frequently send those seeking a yeshuah to daven at his grave, with a special order of tefillah, and even said that “the place is the most auspicious for tefillah.” For many years, on the yahrzeit, after Shacharis k’vasikin (at sunrise), he would give a special shiur in the Torah of the Chazon Ish, and later go to the cemetery, surrounded by many of his students, to entreat in tefillah on his grave.
