After hearing the news of the discovery of the bodies of the three bnei yeshiva in a PA area following the 18-day search, HaGaon HaRav Chaim Kanievsky Shlita commented “They had a very great zechus for thousands of Jews were mechazeik because of them”. The tzaddik added the tefilos were not in vain and they were a merit for their neshomos.
