[Avodah] RMF and gebrocha

According to Rabbi Yitzchak Eizik of Vitebsk, the custom originated with Dov
Ber of Mezeritch <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dov_Ber_of_Mezeritch>.[2]
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gebrochts#cite_note-2>(This appears, for
example, in Shulchan Aruch HaRav
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shulchan_Aruch_HaRav>, c. 1800.)

In fact, the members of some nineteenth century Lithuanian Jewish
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithuanian_Jews> communities deliberately
ate gebrochts to demonstrate the permissibility of this practice.[*citation
needed <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed>*]
Both the Vilna
Gaon <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vilna_Gaon>[3]
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gebrochts#cite_note-3> and Rabbi Moshe
Feinstein <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabbi_Moshe_Feinstein> ruled that
there is no reason to avoid eating gebrochts.
