-ne DAN GOLDBERGIT’S 7pm on a cold winter’s night and I’ve been summoned to the home of Rabbi Yitzchok Dovid Groner. Tonight, however, Rabbi Groner is in inimitable form.Like legions before me, I have arrived to ask questions of Australia’s most senior Orthodox rabbi. But unlike members of his burgeoning Lubavitch flock, my questions do not pertain to issues of family purity, relationship foibles, fertility or commentaries on Jewish law.To Lubavitchers and many others across the Orthodox community of Melbourne, Rabbi Groner is their spiritual leader, their chief rabbi, a medicine man who dispenses spiritual antidotes from his small office, where the floor-to-ceiling bookshelves almost groan under the weight of halachic texts.Parked in his wheelchair behind his desk, he appears physically and spiritually larger than life. No, anyone who has met Rabbi Groner knows he doesn’t dabble in the frivolous pursuit of luxuries.It’s for his other family, his extended family: the Yeshivah Centre in Melbourne which he was instrumental in building and the Lubavitch movement in Australia over which he effectively presides.He has been offered a testimonial dinner to mark his 80th birthday, which he will celebrate next year. Chabad, thanks to shlichim such as Rabbi Groner, is not that far behind.One of the most important contributing factors in the globalisation of the Lubavitch movement has been its willingness to embrace technology, a giant leap Rabbi Groner has resisted.“I don’t know how to use the computer,” became the late Lubavitcher Rebbe’s personal secretary.Rabbi Groner vividly recalls the 9th day of Adar II in 1940 when, as a 15-year-old boy, he watched the sixth Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneerson, sail into New York Harbour.“There were thousands of people there. To this day he insists the most important step a Jewish parent can take “is to give their children to a Jewish dayschool”.ALTHOUGH he and his wife of 57 years appear the archetypal couple who have succeeded as Chabad shlichim, it was not all plain sailing.In 1958, the Rebbe sent Rabbi Groner to Australia for a third time (his second visit was in 1953). says Rabbi Groner, a smile washing over his face.Initially, however, Rebbetzin Groner had difficulty integrating. consider that the map of Jewish Melbourne, indeed of Australia, would be significantly different had the Rebbe not sent him and Rebbetzin Groner here some 45 years ago.The facts speak for themselves: the Rabbinical Council of Victoria’s acting president, Rabbi Gidon Fox, is a Chabadnik; who like Rabbi Groner were sent by the Rebbe to Australia — in Sydney, while no such directory exists, there are approximately 2000 Lubavitchers, including children.Perhaps most importantly, the vast majority of Orthodox pulpits across the continent are now led by Lubavitcher rabbis.This may well be a function of their training, but it is, at a deeper level, a measure of the success of those, such as Rabbi Groner, sent by the Rebbe to instil Yiddishkeit, to continue a brand of Chassidism that evolved in the 18th century from a town in White Russia called Lubavitch.“It [the hegemony of Chabad] is a good thing,” Summoned to the High Court in the 1970s to act as a witness in a landmark case relating to government funding for private (generally religious) schools, Rabbi Groner was asked by the QC what his objective was.“I said my objective is to make my boys and girls a mensch.”The judge, Rabbi Groner recalls with a smile, was puzzled.
