Making of a Godol

Making of a Godol: A Study of Episodes in the Lives of Great Torah Personalities
is a two-volume book written and published in 2002, with an improved
edition published in 2005, by Rabbi Nathan Kamenetsky (1930-2019),[1] son of Rabbi Yaakov Kamenetsky,[2] about the life of his father[3] and of various other Jewish sages of the 19th and 20th centuries, who are revered by Orthodox (especially Haredi) Jews. The word Godol means "great [one]" in Hebrew, and refers to exceptional Talmudic scholars who are often prominent Roshei Yeshiva (heads of yeshivas).
