When he was told that a computer had tallied 99 mentions, Rabbi Kanievsky pointed out that the extra two words utilized the same Hebrew letters as Moses but that they had completely different meanings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>He lived a life of utter simplicity from his tiny apartment in Bnei Brak, completely uninterested in luxuries or even comforts. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jpost.com\/israel-news\/article-701834\"><span>Despite<\/span><\/a><span> his widespread renown, he never sought or accepted any formal position as the head of an institution or the rabbi of a community; still, many in the Religious Jewish community considered him to be the final say in all matters related to the Jewish people worldwide.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The Israeli police and the Bnei Brak municipality took every effort to maintain safety at what was likely the largest funeral in Israeli history.
