A Rosh Yeshivah from Eretz Yisrael traveled to America to collect money for his yeshivah. While he was in New York, he used the opportunity to visit Rav Moshe Feinstein ztl. The Rosh Yeshivah mentioned to Rav Moshe that his next stop on his trip would be Toronto. Rav Moshe asked him if he was going to a particular well-known philanthropist, and the Rosh Yeshivah answered in the affirmative. Rav Moshe then asked if he was also going to another well-known philanthropist, and he again answered in the affirmative. Rav Moshe then asked the Rosh Yeshivah if he would do him a favor and deliver letters he had for these two philanthropists, and the Rosh Yeshivah was willing, of course. R’ Moshe then sat down and penned two letters to these two philanthropists, and placed the letters in envelopes. Later, when the Rosh Yeshivah gave the letters to the philanthropist, it became clear that the letters were actually recommendations from Rav Moshe for the Rosh Yeshivah and his yeshivah. Rav Moshe had acted as if the Rosh Yeshivah was doing him a favor by delivering these two letters, instead of telling him that he was actually doing a favor for him.
