He followed Reb Yeruchom when Reb Yeruchom transferred to Mir yeshiva to serve as the Mashgiach there . In Mir Yeshiva, Reb Dovid was the roommate of Rabbi Yechiel Michel Feinstein .

By marrying Tzipporah Kreiser , Reb Dovid became the son-in-law of Rabbi Dovid Dov Kreiser , making him brother-in-law to Rabbi Aryeh Leib Malin . Following his marriage, Reb David studied as married fellow in the Kollel of Rabbi Elchonon Wasserman in Kovno, while enduring many hardships.
