I added redirect page of Steipler Gaon. I think it should have been done earlier as that was his most common title. Nesher22:17, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
"Massive" maybe too simplistic of a translation from עצום. At this time I can't think of a better word other than "world-class." ("serious, intense?") --Bo Basil11:17, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Though I've seen revisionists calling him the Steipler Gaon, I believe that in his lifetime he was just known as the Steipler. I think this new appellation was coined by people uncomfortable using a gadol's "common" nickname. Note that Hebrew Wikipedia just says הסטייפלר ("the Steipler").

"In 1922, like many yeshiva students, he smuggled the border to Poland and joined the central branch of the Novardok Yeshiva in Bialystok."
English wiki:
"After serving under arms for some time, Rab Kanievsky managed to get discharged. He decided to move to Białystok in Poland, in order to continue learning Torah unhindered from Communist interference."
