Rabbi Shmuel Lazar, a resident of Boro Park who led educational activities on behalf of Lubavitch, passed away Friday 27 Tammuz 5770.
He was a student of the central Chabad Yeshiva Tomchei Temimim in New York in 5704.
From the year 5708 until his marriage he was sent by the Previous Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Joseph I. Schneersohn, as a Shliach to open Chabad schools in Buffalo, Rochester, New Haven amd Worcester, MA.
In recent years he was a prominent member of Congregation Tzemach Tzedek Lubavitch, a shul in Boro Park.
His is survived by his brother Rabbi Mosher Lazar, a Shliach in Italy. He can be reached for Nichum Aveilim at +39-333-811-5336 or [email protected].
Baruch Dayan Haemes.
He is also survived by three children and dozens of eineklach. Yehi Zichroh Baruch!
If I’m not mistaken, he used to live in Williamsburgh. It was at his home the entire group of marchers (many hundreds) who went on tahalucha to Williamsburgh on Shvi-ee Shel Pesach, would all end up at his home to make Kiddush and receive refreshments prior to marching back to 770.
I knew him well. He used to come to daven in 770 with the Rebbe for the yomim noroyim, and he stood the whole time even though he was not that young, he could of gotten a plce ti sit. He was a true jew with Ahavas Yisroel for everyone.
