The following story is the story of Rabbi Shabtai Binyamin Finkel, shlit"a, the son and successor of the Rabbi zt"l, who testifies that he heard his father tell the story to his mother.
Rabbi Aryeh's grandfather, Maran Rosh Yeshiva, Rabbi Eliezer-Yehuda Finkel zt"l, had a relative. A lonely and broken woman, who spent her life alone. From time to time she would come to visit Rabbi Eliezer Yehuda, but she did not want to find out where she lived... One day, there was a celebration at Rabbi Leiser-Yodel's home, and the Rosh Yeshiva asked to invite his relative. Rabbi Lazer Yodel calls his beloved grandson, Rabbi Aryeh, and asks him to invite the lonely woman! "But Grandpa," the grandson asks, "where does she live?" "Where?" the grandson asks. Instead of answering, the grandfather tells him, "Take 5 liras, call a taxi and go get it." Rabbi Aryeh, who was about 35 years old at the time and had absolute rabbinic faith, and was also devoted to his grandfather in his heart and soul, went down to the street, stopped a taxi, and when the driver asked him where to go, he replied, "Drive until the meter reaches 5 pounds." The taxi stopped in a remote Jerusalem neighborhood. Rabbi Aryeh descended and began to search between the buildings and apartments, going up and down from building to building, and he did not despair. Until when he knocked on one door, and there was the woman he wanted! She was astonished at how he had managed to discover the hiding place, but she happily accepted the invitation.
