Leah Koledetski: Everything To Know About Chaim Kanievsky’s Daughter

Leah Koledetski, daughter of Chaim Kanievsky and Batsheva Kanievsky, inherited her revered mother’s role as a guiding spiritual light to the women of Am Yisrael.

Like her mother, Rabbanit Kolodetsky receives women (and some men as well) thirsty for advice and encouragement and blessings.

Sources close to the Rabbanit say that two years after Rabbanit Kanyevsky’s passing, Rabbanit Kolodetsky draws even twice the number of visitors to the Kanyevsky home (where Rabbanit Kolodestky receives the public) as before the Rabbanit’s passing– numbering dozens a day and hundreds a week.

Her late father, Chaim Kanievsky, received thousands of visits every year from Jews seeking religious and Halachic advice.

He was the official rabbi and spiritual guide for the non-profit organization Belev Echad, which was founded in Israel on 2011 and was dedicated to assist sick and disabled children and adults.

In his youth, he was known as a brilliant child prodigy who had a photographic memory for Torah and could elucidate complicated rabbinic teachings, despite his youth.

During the 1947–1949 Palestine war, Rabbi Kanievsky, then a student at the Lomza Yeshiva, was mobilized into the Israel Defense Forces. He was assigned to stand guard on a large hill near Jaffa.
