Reb Elyah

For three generations, Reb Elyah Lopian was a synonym for piety, wisdom, courage, mussar, and harbatzas haTorah a man who was an inspiring teacher and role model for countless thousands. When he was in his eighties, after a long life of unremitting achievement, he longed to retire to a back bench in an obscure study hall. The Chazon Ish quoted the verse, ""They will flourish in their old age ... "" so Reb Elyah laid aside his plans and began a new fifteen-year career as a guide and mentor in Israel. This is the magnificent story of a towering Torah personality.
