Leib Zweig, a resident of Florida whose two children became Lubavitchers, passed away Friday, 26 Adar 5770.
He was 96.
A resident of West Palm Beach, he lived in Crown Heights in the last 5 years of his life after his wife’s passing.
“He was very supportive of his daughters becoming frum,” a grandson told COLlive.com. “As long as they’re happy, he used to say.”
He is survived by Shlucha Hinda Langer, co-director of Chabad of San Francisco, CA; Mrs. Alessa Wircberg of Crown Heights; and Mr. Froymie Elie Zweig of Miami, FL.
The funeral will be held today (Friday), leaving Shomrei Hadas at 12:00pm, passing by 770 Eastern Parkway at around 12:40 and heading to Old Montefiore cemetery in Queens.
The family will be sitting shiva at 719 Crown Street, Brooklyn, NY.
Boruch Dayan Haemes.
it sounds like you were fortunate to have very special parents
My father, Leib ben Yaakov Chanoch Zweig and my mother Kayli bas Moshe, were very unusual and amazing people. Their integrity, honesty and love for Yiddishkeit enabled our family to come to teshuva. My parents, like so many in their generation, did not have the chinuch al taharas hakodesh that my children, their grandchildren and great grandchildren are not privileged to have – but they taught my sister and I to look for the emes.
They had yechidus and brochos from the Rebbe MH”M. They are definitely asking for Moshiach NOW! l’maala.
may he be a mailtiz yosher for kala yisroel
