There was a great deal about rav Froman that was sensational, in every sense of the word.
The rav was standing by the ark, wrapped in his Tallis, and expounding to a crowded congregation.
But the rav is ashamed to imitate him, or is partly afraid, lest people should catch him doing it.
This has a bad effect on the rav's enthusiasm, it "mixes his brains," and he turns to his son for help.
And the rav sat in his room, bent over a book in which he would fain have lost himself.
The more modest and simple the rav, the haughtier and more exigent the Rebbetzin.
The rav is naturally humble-minded, and it is no trifle to him to expound the Torah.
Just then Sholem turned, they saw each other, and the rav had willy-nilly to approach him.
And the rav felt, as he went on with the prayer, that this anger was cooling down.
The rav wept and swallowed his tears, and his eyes were closed.
RAV abbr.
