Rav Paysach Krohn shared a story. One afternoon, a Rebbi in Yeshivah Kol Torah in Yerushalayim informed the Rosh Yeshivah, Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach, zt”l, that he needed to leave a bit early to look at an apartment his family was planning on moving into.
Rav Shlomo Zalman gave him a Brachah for Hatzlachah, and he also insisted on coming along to see the apartment. When they arrived, Rav Shlomo Zalman inquired about each room and what it would be used for. The Rebbi was astounded that the Rosh Yeshivah took so much of his time and was so concerned about the apartment. Every moment was precious to Rav Shlomo Zalman, and here he was, asking about the details of an apartment!
The Rebbe finally asked Rav Shlomo Zalman, “Why did the Rosh Yeshivah insist on coming along with me?” Rav Shlomo Zalman answered with a smile and said, “I wanted to see where you will live so I can place an Ayin Tovah, a good eye, on your home!”
