His Love for The Bas Ayin:
When he reached old age, the Bas Ayin of Avritch zy”a decided to travel to Eretz Yisroel. Before he left, he went to say goodbye to his rebbe, Rav Mordechai, the Magid of Chernobyl, and his sons. He found all of the sons sitting with their father, with the exception of the oldest son, Rav Aharon, who was out of town on a shlichus for his father.
The Bas Ayin was very upset that he missed him, as he loved him very much. As he traveled, a wheel of the wagon broke, and everyone had to get off as the wagon driver fixed it. It got late and they began to daven Minchah.
As they were standing on the side of the road, a wagon approached. On this wagon was Rav Aharon, who was returning from his mission. He got down from the wagon and davened Minchah with the group, keeping his eyes closed as he concentrated on Shemonah Esrei. After he finished davening, he saw the Bas Ayin and ran over to greet him. The Bas Ayin hugged and kissed him, and recognized that the wheel had broken in an act of hashgacha so that he could say goodbye to Rav Dovid.
Rav Aharon said to the Bas Ayin, “Avritcher Rov, tell me, why is it that so many people make such a big deal out of you!”
He answered, “It is because I love my fellow Jews.”
Rav Aharon then asked, “I also love Jews. But where can I take this Yid?”
The Bas Ayin replied, “The difference between me and you is that I am able to find the Yid, while you cannot find the Jew.” He was hinting that he is able to find the inner Jew within every Yid and, thereby, love him completely. The two then parted with much warmth and love.
