Rabbanit Batsheva Kanievsky
Yahrzeit (Hillula)
- 17 Tishrei — Rebbetzin Batsheva Kanievsky
Rabbanit Batsheva bat Yosef Shalom Kanievsky (1933-2011)
Yahrzeit – 17 Tishrei
Place of burial – Israel, Bnei Brak, "Zichron Meir"
Rabbanit Batsheva Esther Kanievsky, of blessed memory, was born into a well-known family: her father was Rav Yosef Shalom Elyashiv, who was already renowned for his brilliance in his youth, and her mother was the daughter of Rav Aryeh Levin, known as the "Rabbi of the Prisoners."
Batsheva was especially close to her grandfather and would sometimes tag along when he went to visit the prisoners of the underground, carrying baskets of food meant for them. In 1951 she married Chaim Kanievsky, son of the Steipler Gaon, who later became a renowned rabbi. They had 8 children. Rabbanit Batsheva was a support to her husband in every way.
Stories of Tzadikot
A young woman who had decided to marry a non-Jew came to Rabbanit Batsheva Kanievsky. People who wanted to talk her out of this step had turned unsuccessfully to many rabbis for help, but no one had been able to help. They brought her to Rabbanit Kanievsky, who was their last hope of persuading the girl not to transgress the Torah.
The Rabbanit treated her with great warmth, explaining the special role of the Jewish people in serving Ha-Shem, and the happiness that awaited her if she married a Jew — moreover one who studied and observed the Torah. But when Rabbanit Kanievsky saw that her words were making no impression on the girl, she began to cry. The girl asked why she was crying, and heard in reply: "Because I have not merited to reveal the truth to you."
Seeing how lovingly the Rabbanit treated her, the girl felt uncomfortable and said: "I'm sorry to waste your time; I see how warmly you have treated my situation, so I agree to take upon myself the fulfillment of one commandment." The Rabbanit began thinking which mitzvah to ask the girl to take on, so that it would not be too difficult, and so that in the future it would help her return to Ha-Shem. She asked the girl to take upon herself any one of King David's psalms and to recite it without skipping a single day. The girl agreed. Then the Rabbanit took a Tehillim and said: "I want us to say this psalm together for the first time." She opened the Tehillim at random — it was Psalm 43. They began reading the first verse, and the girl suddenly burst into tears. The Rabbanit asked her why she was crying all of a sudden — what had happened?
The girl quoted that verse: שָׁפְטֵ֤נִי אֱלֹהִ֨ים ׀ וְרִ֘יבָ֤ה רִיבִ֗י מִגּ֥וֹי לֹא־חָסִ֑יד מֵ֤אִישׁ־מִרְמָ֖ה וְעַוְלָ֣ה תְפַלְּטֵֽנִי
- "Shofteni Elohim ve-riva rivi, mi-goy lo chasid me-ish mirma ve-avla tefalteni" (Judge me, O G-d, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation; deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man).
"The Rabbanit doesn't know my name — my name is Riva. My name is written in this verse in the words 've-riva rivi' (and plead my cause). When I saw how you took the Tehillim, opened it at random, and read out my name along with the words 'from the deceitful and malicious man deliver me,' I understood everything. I am sorry that I was so mistaken. I will remain faithful to Ha-Shem and to my people."
"Ein od Milvado" — concluded Rabbanit Batsheva — "You alone are our Father."
