The Elder Rosh Yeshivah, the Gaon Rabbi Chaim Pinchas Scheinberg's Tallit Kattan - Remnant of his Famous Wondrous Conduct

"And the tallit will spread its wings over them and shade them, as an eagle awakens its nest and hovers over its fledglings"

Tallit kattan that belonged to the wondrous gaon and wonder-worker, one of the rabbinic leaders of recent generations, the gaon Rabbi Chaim Pinchas Scheinberg, rosh yeshivah of Torah Ore and one of the rabbinic leaders of recent generations.

The segulah of tzitzit is renowned. First, there is the mitzvah d'orayta we mention three times a day - in kriyat shema (the Vilna Gaon said in tears just before his passing that the value of tzitzit in Olam HaBa is inestimable). The mountains of tzitzit, especially a tallit kattan that belonged to one of the tzaddikim of the generations, comprises a protection from damagers and is also a segulah to find one's spouse. As stated in Kitvei HeAr"i (Pri Etz Chaim, Sha'ar HaTzitzit, Chapter 2) "The four tzitziyot all emit from the yessod called Tzaddik Elyon. And as the verse says, from the edges of the lands [מכנף הארץ ], we heard a hart of a tzaddik ... It is known that a woman makes a covenant only with one who has made himself a vessel..."

Refer to the Hebrew catalog text for a brief biography of the gaon Rabbi Chaim Pinchas Scheinberg.

Rabbi Chaim Pinchas Scheinberg had a special relationship with the mitzvah of tzitzit. One of this wondrous tzaddik's wondrous ways that continues to remain a mystery was that he wore many pairs of tzitzit on top of each other, as well as wearing a tallit on top of his suit jacket! Even as a rosh yeshivah walking in the street, he would wear dozens of pairs of tzitzit, and when he returned home, he added another load of dozens of more tzitziyot, to the point he could hardly be seen through this mountain of tzitziyot. He never revealed the reason for wearing so many pairs of tzitzit, and he denied all the reasons and explanations that others gave for this conduct. However, there was a rumor that he took a vow at a time of distress, either as a type of self-affliction or possibly out of his affection for this mitzvah.
