Remembering Rabbi Groner

ZoroIslamoYid commenting to mentalblog.com: Rabbi Yitzchok Dovid Groner & to further beatify the saint, let us not forget how he would spew words like "Fuck," and "Shit," and the like; how he would assiduously devour the New York Daily News like any good NY sports fan: right-to-left; how he would show off his bare fat stomach to anyone interested or not; and of course, how he would famously embarrass his wife nee Konikov in public (legendary havdalah story...), berate her, etc. etc.
ah, amolike gdoylim...

einikel of a masmid commenting to mentalblog.com: Groners - live as caricature, die as caricature: The day I became a feminist... I was 10 years old. Rabbi Groner from Australia came to our suburb to farbreng. My father took me along. Women were there too. Yes, as usual confined to the top floor, peeking down. They were talking. Groner stopped to farbreng and made a remark about the veiberz. Didn't understand it, but from the laughter of the chasidim to this remark, I understood it was cruel and cynical. I didn't laugh...
