The matzeivah at the kever of Maran Rav Chaim Kanievsky zt”l was placed this morning at the Shomrei Shabbos-Zichron Meir bais hachaim in Bnei Brak.
The text of the tombstone was written by the family, according to wording formulated by Rav Chaim’s father, the Steipler.
The matzeivah text is primarily comprised of the names of seforim written by Rav Chaim.
The actual text is as follows:
“רבנו בעל “הדרך אמונה” זיע”א
“פה נגנז רבנו הגדול מרן ר’ שמריהו יוסף חיים זללה”ה בן מרן ר’ יעקב ישראל זללה”ה קניבסקי“
“בעהמח”ס “דרך אמונה” והספרים: שיח השדה, נחל איתן, שונה הלכות, טעמא דקרא, שערי אמונה, ארחת יושר, קרית מלך, ברייתות, שקל הקדש, מסכתות: ציצית, תפילין, מזוזה, ספר תורה, עבדים, כותים גרים ועוד ספרים“.
“יצאה נשמתו בטהרה בפניא דמעלי שבתא בפורים דמוקפים ט”ו אדר ב’ ה’תשפ”ב ת נ צ ב” ה“.

Can’t fathom the omission of the words “Sar Hatorah” from the Matzeivah!
No explanation is sufficient. Kavod Hatorah!
why even leave room for anything else just straight titles on the whole stone according to you.
Hey Joey, can you read?
The article clearly says the wording were based on what the Steipler ZTZ”L formulated. That would include, like by many Gedolim, NOT giving any superlative titles.
The Steipler wasn’t known during his lifetime as the Sar Hatorah but Rav Kanyevski was universally known so . .
Where has Kavod Hatorah gone?
Btw Alex lower the tone, why are you yelling . .
Matzav, care to translate.
Perhaps you should get a translator on staff – this situation arises often enough.
Google translate is free.
What type of stone was used? What do they charge per letter? What did they charge for the initial cementing?
Really? I think that list of sforim is lots of kavod! Know anyone else who can match that?
