Why They Came at Night
A story ofRav Aryeh Levineהרב אריה בן בנימין ביינוש לוין
Reb Aryeh usually did not go to bed until two in the morning. He sat up at home helping to restore peace between husbands and wives, listening to their quarrels and offering advice and solutions.
Once he was asked why he did not tell such couples to come earlier in the evening. He replied that couples in trouble fear for their reputations, so they prefer to arrive quietly, late at night.
