Q&A: Where Is This Written in the Chazon Ish?
Where Is This Written in the Chazon Ish?
Question
When I studied in cheder as a schoolchild in the home of our master the Chazon Ish, of blessed and holy memory, the rebbes said that the Chazon Ish had said that the State would last 40 years, at most 50 years, and they felt very self-assured, as if they had prophecy and knew what would happen.
As the years passed, and today, thank God, my children are educated in Religious Zionism.
But I’m still curious: where is this written in the Chazon Ish?
There’s no point asking the rebbes; most of them are already covered by the clods of earth.
Maybe the Rabbi knows where this is written in the Chazon Ish?
After all, they used to say it with complete confidence.

Answer
Why does it have to be written anywhere? Maybe it’s part of the oral tradition. I heard it too. If you heard it from Reb Shepsel Rot, I can check with him. 🙂
