R' Chaim ben R' Avrohom Yosef Kreisworth ZY"A (2001) was one of the great Torah giants of recent times. 16 Teves is his yartzeit. Here is a small story to illustrate how our Torah Sages are so intamately familiar with the words of the Talmud.

They literally know it the way most people know the names of their family members.

If I may use the analogy, not just anybody can step into the ring with a heavyweight champ. May we be worthy of having great Torah leaders to guide us.

I had the z'chus to see R. Kreisworth in passing about 12 years ago... Just seeing him left an impression on me. Truly an Adam Gadol.
