Seder by R' Elchonon Wasserman English rendition: Sheindel Weinbach Chapter Twenty-Eight is the second part of a translation done for Yated-English from the book "Halaila Einenu Ofel - The Night is Not Dark", a memoir of her grandfather's early years in the yeshivos of Europe, written by Yehudit Golan, published by Feldheim. [We recommend reading the original in not-too-difficult and very fascinating narrative.]

The Power of Tzedokoh One mitzva leads to another. The following happened in the days of the Gaon of Vilna. It was erev Pesach. The preparations for the seder were in high gear. The Gaon of Vilna would be spending the festival in a small town near Pinsk, but, oblivious to the activity around him, he was occupied in his study. On his calendar, erev Pesach was a regular day, and as soon as he finished his short preparations for the coming festival, he headed for the beis midrash.
