A Bochur Immersed in Learning
Torah learning
One day in Vilna, Rav Mordechai Zuckerman, who had learned in Radin, happened upon Rav Elchonon. When he mentioned that he had been a Radin talmid, Rav Elchonon invited him along to see Rav Chaim Ozer Grodzensky.
Rav Chaim Ozer knew Rav Mordechai immediately. With a touch of reproach he asked Rav Elchonon, “Why are you bringing me a bochur who is immersed in learning?” It turned out that Rav Chaim Ozer had been looking for a yeshivah bochur to assist him. Years had gone by, yet he still remembered how diligently Rav Mordechai had learned in Radin.
