There was no advance warning of the phone call that Purim day 17 years ago. “The Rosh Yeshivah asked me to call for you on Purim. He wants to give you a brachah.” “Are you certain the Rosh Yeshivah meant to call me?” a surprised Reb Yaakov asked. “Yes ” said the caller. “Come quickly before shkiah.” Reb Yaakov didn’t ask too many questions. Instead he excused himself jumped into his car and drove off to Rechov Chazon Ish 5 where he was surprised to receive a warm brachah from Rav Steinman for success in all of his endeavors. That would turn out to be a blunt hint for the Rosh Yeshivah’s future plans. Reb Yaakov — a sought-after tax advisor with hundreds of employees in three major accounting offices in Bnei Brak Jerusalem and Ashdod and a member of the Bnei Brak city council — first met Rav Steinman a few months before that Purim when he approached the Rosh Yeshivah for a ruling on a certain communal issue. Rav Steinman was impressed with his integrity and yiras Shamayim and a few months later Rav Steinman summoned him again. “I want to open a yeshivah ” he said “and I want you to manage it.” Reb Yaakov was shocked. Sure he understood finances was a diligent community activist and even a talmid chacham. But the Rosh Yeshivah had many close talmidim who would be more suited to the job. Still he upheld his own principle: When gedolei Yisrael give an order you don’t ask questions.
