The emigration of Rabbi Avraham Yeshayahu from Vilnius to Eretz Israel was a turning point in the establishment of the Charedi community in the new settlements of Eretz Israel. At the time he resided in Vilnius, the Chazon Ish remained relatively anonymous but even then, Rabbi Chaim Ozer would consult him about issues concerning Charedi Jews and Agudat Israel. Before his immigration to Eretz Israel, Rabbi Chaim Ozer sent a letter to the heads of Agudat Israel in Jerusalem informing them that a great person is immigrating to Eretz Israel. Indeed, as soon as he arrived, the fame of the Chazon Ish spread and he became the upmost authority of the Charedi Jewish community in Eretz Israel. He was the key figure behind the Charedi education system, the yeshivas and the Torah communities in Eretz Israel.
