I just like to relate a story that heard many years ago from From Rabbi Leon Guttmann a”h of White Oak, Pa., who was a talmid. He said that Reb Dovid had the custom of waiting to be Mikadesh livana after 7 days according to the custom of the mikubalim. Once the Talmidim saw being mikadesh livana after 3 days (as brought in Shulchan Aruch). His talmidim asked him “why he didn’t wait until after 7 days as was his custom?” And “birov am hadras melech” He replied : “Because I’m not going to be here” He went into the hospital a few days later and was nifter 10 Tammuz (I think it was Tammuz).
Today is the 40th Yartzeit – here’s an article from the Mashgiach’s Talmid, Rav Gershon Weiss, shlit”a, of the Staten Island Yeshiva –

He wrote a beautiful sefer on zeroim (lomdishe chidushim). He wrote in the introduction that the Mirrer yeshiva war years in Shanghi were obviously difficult, with everyone distraught not knowing what was happening to their parents and families, so to keep his mind off the anxiety and to help himself toil in learning, he chose to learn this new subject, and wrote this sefer. It is geonus, besides for his specialty in mussar.
