Editing Chaim Soloveitchik (section)

== His Work and Proximity to Chassidus ==
Rabbi Chaim was especially known for his wisdom<ref>The Rebbe's Reshimos Booklet 8</ref> and righteousness. He greatly favored the Chassidim of his generation, and accordingly, he also wanted to arrange marriages with Jews who were part of the Chassidic movement. All his sons and daughters were matched with Chassidim and men of good deeds, except for one match<ref>There are those who say that this shidduch (match/marriage arrangement) was made without his permission and without his knowledge.</ref>.

Rabbi Chaim was among the leaders of Orthodox Judaism during that period, which he led together with other great Jewish leaders: the Rebbe Rashab, the Chofetz Chaim Rabbi Yisrael Meir HaCohen of Radin, Rabbi David Friedman of Karlin, the Rebbe of Gur - Rabbi Yehuda Aryeh Leib Alter (the Sfas Emes) (after the passing of the Sfas Emes, the Gra"ch urged the publication of his writings on the tractates of Moed and Kodshim) and others.
