I don't know if he composed the entire tshuva on Erev Shavuos or not, but either way, it's fairly impressive work.
that, you know, that Rav Moshe did that.
Meaning, you know, I was just talking to the Talmudim the other day and they said, you know, some of the stories about Gadolim in their biographies are a little off-putting, you know, like they say, you know, this Gadol was so busy learning that he forgot to get his wife a tea when she was sick or something like that.
You know, things that like, come on, you know, take care.
Gadolim of a particular stature live in a different way, and the understanding of what their life is going to be like is entirely different.
Meaning, when a person gets married to someone like that, they know exactly the kind of life that they're signing up for, and it is what they want.
It's what they actually desire.
I was once talking to a grandchild of Rav Moshe,
And I said, I heard some sort of story where on Erev Shabbos the house was busy and he started sweeping the floors and mopping.
The grandmother never would have allowed him to do that.
Their understanding was that he learns, that he writes Shuvahs.
That was their understanding.
She never would have allowed that.
So Ramosha on Erev Shuvahs wasn't baking cheesecake.
Rav Moshe was writing a tshuva on Erev.
But it happens to be that Rav Moshe does allow, he has a famous tshuva allowing for an Erev in Kew Gardens Hills.
So it's not a New York City thing.
It's a place that has 600,000 people.
