I heard this story before from several people, not from Rav Kahane though. It goes like this. A Jew asked a Rabbi if he can fulfill his Pessah Seder with drinking 4 cups of milk instead of Wine.
 Instead of just providing him enough or with Wine the Rav understood that the Jew did not have $ for meat as well and this is not just a question about milk vs. Wine. Soo he provided him with $ to purchase wine and meat for the Seuda. The moral of the story is that a person needs to look into a persons problems and see beyond just what they are asking for in the surface. It is truly loving others.

4 They that forsake the law praise the wicked; but such as keep the law contend with them.

ה  אַנְשֵׁי-רָע, לֹא-יָבִינוּ מִשְׁפָּט;    וּמְבַקְשֵׁי יְהוָה, יָבִינוּ כֹל.   
5 Evil men understand not justice; but they that seek the LORD understand all things.

THE 4 CUPS OF… MILK?

So what does it mean when we say that a person possesses a “Yiddishe Cup” (defined as a “Jewish head” or “Jewish way of thinking”)?[1] The following story on the four Seder cups can fill us up with a truly liberating lesson on this always timely topic.

A woman once approached Rabbi Yosef Dov Soloveitchik of Brisk with a strange question. She wanted to know whether one could use milk instead of wine for the four cups of the Seder, since she simply couldn’t afford the wine. He responded by giving her a large amount of money. One of the Rabbi’s students asked him, “I understand you gave her money because she can’t afford the wine, but why so much?” The Rabbi explained, “If she wants to drink milk at the Seder, it is obvious she has no meat for Pesach” (since the laws of kashrut forbid the mixing of milk and meat). “So I gave her enough to buy both wine and meat for the entire holiday.”

 ( For the continuation of the story click the link above).
