You ne-vay-le !!!

Rabbi Groner spent his time in the rebbes Daled-Amos, “LIKE NO ONE ELSE”

And when the rebbe introduced Rabbi Groner to President Shazar he told the president Rabbi Groner is my personal secretary.

impersonators
July 10, 2009 7:46 am

the people he sketched are impersonators of leible groner (you can see his fake beard) and sam melamed.

to #69 - wake up!
July 10, 2009 6:54 am

You speak like those ignorant, prejudice folks in Wiliamsburg where a beard and black coat is all what’s needed to be called frum Lubavitch knows better! Pnimiyus is what defines us. That’s how we reach out (and need to reach in too). I’m not saying C”V the a beard is not holy (our grandfathers were arrested in Russia just for that!), but our children need to know what makes you a chossid is acting like a chossid in each aspect of your life. Davening 3 times in a minyan, learning every day, educating your children, doing mivtziom, chitas and rambam… Read more »

July 10, 2009 6:08 am

just because someone has money and gives tzedakah does not make them a chossid. it makes them a good person! a chossid is someone who does what their rebbe wants no questions asked!! nothing to do with money!! and yes rabbi groner is a nice and special person and mazkir who moved the rebbes chair! and thats all he was nothing more nothing less!! VD”L

TO # 32 And # 54 thank you.
July 10, 2009 3:17 am

TO # 32

Better to ask “Reb Yid ,where is your beard? – then to ask “beard, where is your Yid”?

To Reb Shmuel, your his-kashrus to the rebbe and Tzdoka V’chesed, should protect you and yours from the idiots out there!

And to you comment # 32 crawl back up the tree you fell out from.

Let me add a thought to the dogs barking to the moon.
Your disrespect for the rebbe’s mazkir is only a reflection of your disrespect for his employer for over fifty year, the rebbe.

To # 34
July 10, 2009 3:13 am

There were times that the Rebbe said that not neccesarily were his chassidim the ones with the beard and black hats.

#32
July 10, 2009 12:36 am

oy! I was praying all the comments would be nice, but I KNEW just one would be like yours! Please please go back to your hole. It is not for you to judge what and why someone does or does not do. there are many many special people out there without beards, kapotes and non-ironed white shirts. Having the above does,t make you an instant good person or someone special. Especially in the three weeks, please watch what you say. Good Shabbos.
