During the morning hours of Wednesday, 2 Teves, HaGaon HaRav Shraga Shteinman arrived at the home of Ponevezh Rosh Yeshiva HaGaon HaRav Gershon Edelstein Shlita to receive his bracha upon being appointed to head Yeshivas Orchos Torah in Bnei Brak.

According to the Kikar Shabbos report, Maran HaGaon HaRav Aharon Yehuda Leib Shteinman ZT”L, in his will, called to appointed Rav Shraga to head the yeshiva, which was established and run by the late Gadol Hador.

It appears his new post will not result in Rav Shraga Shteinman giving shiurim or leading sichos, but more responsibility for the ruchniyus level of the yeshiva, working alongside the roshei yeshiva.

HaGaon Rav Shraga Shteinman is a son-in-law to HaGaon HaRav Chaim Kanievsky and serves as Rosh Yeshivas Kehillas Yaakov L’Tzeirim.
