In the 50s an elderly man originally from the city of Minsk (city then part of Lithuania, now the capital of Belarus) finds himself in a Yeshiva in New Jersey. He asks whether someone there would know anything about the man he describes as the Gaon of Minsk. An elderly student of Torah asks him whom he means. He then explains that in his youth he lived in Minsk in a small apartment with his family, next to the rabbi of the city. Thanks to the thin walls between apartments he was able to overhear all conversations the Rabbi had during the day with his guests. One day he overhears the rav discuss a portion of Torah with his nephew, who is saddenned he was not able to continue studying with the rav due to time restrictions and the busy schedule of the Rabbi. He understands that money restricts the family to let the young nephew study torah in yeshiva fulltime. The then young man decides to start a small business selling buns on the city market, to save some money to give to the briljant young nephew of the rabbi that wanted to dedicate his life to the study of Torah. He succeeds and manages to give the Rabbi a large sum for his nephew. 40 years later in the yeshiva in New Jersey the elderly student of Torah asks the elderly man that posed the question if he knew the name of the young nephew of the Rabbi. He mentions his name Aharon Pines, and the man in the yeshiva affirms he is still alive and at that point the famous head of the world reknown yeshiva in Lakewood, carying the name Aharon Kotler, the name he used on his travel documents after the Shoah.
