The Advice of Rav Meir Premishlaner

Rav Menachem Mendel related that on one visit to Rav Meir Premishlaner, he handed the tzaddik a kvittel (a note requesting the Rebbe's blessings and prayers) and a pidyon (a customary monetary gift). Rav Meir told him three things.

"First, tell your father to push the sukkah four amos away from the wall. Second, you seem to be a G-d-fearing Torah Jew, so how can it be that you live all together in one room? It is improper and immodest to live in such close quarters."

The third was a message that Rav Menachem Mendel kept secret all his life. All he would say, many years later, was that he wished he had listened to this third piece of advice, and he regretted all his life that he had not heeded the tzaddik's words.
