Rabbenu Avraham Yeshaya Karelitz zy”a was sent from On High to lead the Jewish nation during one of its most difficult eras, during a terrible spiritual war. The Jews of Europe were almost at the point of spiritual annihilation by movements which worked ceaselessly to uproot Torah and mitzvah observance, and to change the face of the Jewish people from how it had existed ever since the Revelation at Sinai.
The spiritual war of the Jewish nation seemed unstoppable. One community after another was vanquished, and educational institutions teaching according to the Torah and Jewish tradition, were slowly vanishing. Against those mighty forces working to change the face of the Jewish nation, stood the gedolei Yisrael who despairingly tried to curb the flow, and stop the destruction and devastation. But it seemed there was no chance, there was no hope to halt the engines of destruction, leading the Jewish people to the edge of the abyss.
In Eretz Yisrael too, the holy land, the situation was dire. The power and control over everything lay in the hands of those who were fighting to establish in the Land of Israel, a State which would be like all the nations, disconnected from Torah, the mitzvos, and Jewish tradition.
During these terrible times, the Chazon Ish moved to Eretz Yisrael. The gedolei Torah, headed by the Chafetz Chaim and Rabbi Chaim Ozer, saw in him the leader who would go as the pillar of fire before the camp of Hashem, and who would steer the ship during the disastrous times, and shepherd the Jewish nation in the way of the Torah, as it had been handed down at Sinai.
The Chazon Ish’s arrival in Eretz Hakodesh was heavenly and miraculous, with Hakadosh Baruch Hu “bringing the cure before the disease.” He was a leader who had had no equal for generations, sent from heaven to reestablish the Jewish nation. He was the angel walking before Hashem’s camp, during its darkest hours, and beginning with the seemingly impossible task of redirecting the historic path of the Jewish nation. It appeared unattainable, but the Chazon Ish, whose entire life went beyond nature, succeeded in breathing life into the dry bones, to collect together one and then another, to rebuild and reestablish the Jewish nation.
After the dreadful Shoah in which most of the Jews were murdered, the Chazon Ish was the leader sent from Above to rehabilitate the ruins and renovate the ashes. With unbelievable siyata d”Shmaya he succeeded, almost alone at the battlefront, to overcome all the warriors against him. To redirect the Jewish people’s path of destruction, and begin rebuilding the nation in the way it had previously existed.
The book, Maran, the Chazon Ish, is the incredible story of the man who was an angel, who rebuilt the nation after the spiritual devastation and the Shoah. This is a miraculous and heavenly story, totally illogical, about the leader and captain who restored and reestablished the Jewish nation with his ten fingers, and merited raising it out of the dust and bringing it to new heights. The leader who turned back the wheels of history, halted the spiritual decline, and established an enormous generation of Torah-observant Jews who continue with pride the path handed down from Sinai.
