Mentioned in the above biography is a story about a young man who was called to serve in the army. He went to Rav Yonasan zt”l who give him an incantation to say before he saw the doctor. When he said , the goats in the slaughter house are fatter than me (Tractate Megilla), he became a lepper, so the doctor through him out in order not to get infected. When he left and went out to the steet, it disappeared.
The story above is mentioned in many places just that it does not say that he became a lepper only that he developed a swelling on his hand that released puss which was considered contagious.
In the story above there are two errors. One a grammatical error, should be, who gave him an incantation. Two, a spelling error, should be, threw him out. The 64th yahrzeit will be the 9th of Elul, Monday Sept 5. The young man, validated by Mrs. Esther Bleier above, was my rebbi at Adas Yereim, Wiener Yeshiva, Rav Holtzer ztz’l.
