Gezhe say gezhe not gezha

I know you’re joking but my dad davened Shachris with him for years, and (many years before that) I occasionally davened Friday night davening with him in what I think was the Skvere Shteibel on Kingston (that became R’ Levy OBM’s Shul / Mikvah Meir.

Avraham (or Avrem’l) Fried(man) the person, not the celebrity, is a geshmake, hartzike, eidel, humble, gentle, and soft-spoken yid.
