      When they were building an extra floor to Kollel Chazon Ish in Bnei Brak, Rav Nissim Karelitz would on every Friday climb up the scaffolding, examine the progress and then give the contractors a list of comments. When someone asked whether it was proper for a Torah scholar to engage in such activities, Rav Karelitz answered, “People have entrusted me with their money, and it is my responsibility to ensure that it is used for the purpose for which it was donated.” (Mishpacha, English edition, 13 April 2011, page 46)
