		Rabbi Chaim of Volozhin was the outstanding disciple of the Vilna Gaon and the founder of the Volozhin Yeshiva in 1802, the most important and most influential Lithuanian institution.
		Reb Chaim’s philosophy is expounded in his Nefesh HaChaim where he emphasizes the power of Torah study and fulfillment of mitzvos to bring a Jew close to G-d.
		In a famous section of that work, he takes issue with those (an obvious reference to Hasidim) who see dveikus, or cleaving to G-d, as a prerequisite to fulfillment of mitzvos.

		But Reb Chaim himself seems to have absorbed the techniques of scientific analysis to explore a world whose borders were utterly sealed - a parallel universe whose laws related only to themselves, not to the increasingly chaotic reality of Eastern European Jewish life.
		Reb Chaim had been famously compassionate and outgoing; Reb Velvel was introverted and reclusive, an aristocratic perfectionist.

		R' Chaim Soloveitchik stood up and thundered at the gathering, "Show me where it says he is not a Jew!" Perhaps he cannot eat of the Passover sacrifice, and his parents are sinners while they haven't circumcised him, but we must consider him a Jew.
