Detailed Description   

R. Aaron Judah Leib Shteinman, (b. 1912 or 1914-2017) was a prominent rabbi and posek (halakhic authority) in Bnei Berak. Following the death of R. Yosef Shalom Elyashiv in 2012, he was widely regarded as the Gadol Hador, the leader of the non-Hasidic Lithuanian Jewry. He was born in Bnei Berak but returned to his family's homeland of Lithuania when he was a youth. He studied in Yeshivas Imrei Moshe in the town of Brisk, headed by R. Moshe Skolovsky, and attended shiurim (Torah lectures) given by R. Yitzchok Zev Soloveitchik, the Brisker Rav. He also studied in Kletzk under Rabbi Aharon Kotler.

R. Shteinman was the only member of his family to survive the war. While still in Switzerland, he married Tamar (Tema) Kornfeld (d. 2002), the daughter of R. Shammai Shraga Kornfeld. She had been sent to Switzerland from Poland to cure her respiratory problems and had also become a refugee when World War II broke out.

R. Shteinman originally published his main works on the Talmud anonymously under the name Ayelet HaShachar (alluding to his initials and those of his wife, Tamar [AYeLeT = Aharon Yehuda Leib Tamar], in Hebrew, as well as the "morning star" of Psalms 22).
