"You see, he was saying, the Avnei Miluim was able to write a teshuvah on Erev Succos"
—Rav Menachem Zaritsky,
Mir menahel, on the tenth yahrtzeit of Rav Nosson Tzvi Finkel
“He told me we’d be learning Erev Succos too, like every other day, and we arranged to learn after Shacharis. But then he added, ‘Shmuli, come in your Yom Tov clothing.’ We sat down after Shacharis and learned straight, without cease, until the siren rang. And then, as we stood up, he looked at me, his face lit up in a radiant smile, and said, ‘I have a present for you.’ He showed me a teshuvah from the Avnei Miluim, dated ‘14 Tishrei.’ You see, he was saying, the Avnei Miluim was able to write a teshuvah on Erev Succos. That was the Rosh Yeshivah’s gift to a young bochur.”
—Rav Shmuel Wolman, Mir maggid shiur, on the tenth yahrtzeit of Rav Nosson Tzvi Finkel
