It is with great sadness we inform you of the passing of Reb Shmuel Leib (Stu) Straus OBM, 66, a longtime resident of Crown Heights.
Reb Shmuel Leib came to Crown Heights from Seattle, Washington where he founded the Lubavitcher Shul, starting out of his garage there and later moving in to the ‘big shul’ where Rabbi Alter Levitin now serves as Rabbi. After moving to Crown Heights he founded another Shul in his basement on St. Johns Place.
He is survived by his wife, Nechama, and his children Mordechai (Mark) (Seattle, WA), Shloimy (Steven) (Seattle, WA), Shimon (Spencer) (Crown Heights).
The Levaya will be tomorrow morning, Friday and will be leaving from Shomrim Hadas Chapel and 9:00 am and will be passing by 770 at 9:30 am.
