A grandson of Rabbi Aharon Leib Shteinman zt”l said, “When I served [my grandfather] food, he would … ask if I wanted to
eat…. I often told him that I am a baal taavah and the food he ate would not be
sufficient for me…. He would sigh and comment, ‘Eating is for me like fasting
for you.’” (Quoted in Yated Ne’eman, 29 Adar)
