including Saturday, the day he died, relatives said.
David Weiss had seen the worst of the world but remained deeply faithful. He went to synagogue every day, including the morning he died, when relatives said he returned home for a forgotten prayer shawl and was caught in the flames.
“He lived for God,” said his granddaughter, Faigy Stroh. “A very humble man.”
Neighbors called Weiss a lively man who seemed younger than his years.
“A 100-year-old man and he still walked without a cane - he still walked on his two feet. To be killed in a fire? It is a tragedy,” said Moses Bineth, 31, who works at the minimart where Weiss bought chocolate for his great-grandkids.

Although living in Beijing, China, which would seem far from the US and its TV programs, being the Chabad Lubavitch Shlucha here makes me the one that people turn to when they have a Jewish, Chassidic or “Torah perspective Women’s” question. Last week was no different and the big buzz was about the comments made on “The View” by Susie Essman, who plays the role of a Lubavitcher woman in a movie titled “Loving Leah”.
The comments and questions were the talk of my Friday kitchen as I prepared for Shabbat with some University students and the young Shluchot who help us in the Chabad House. I silently listed to them discuss this with a mix of anger, shock, outrage and confusion and a disbelief that in today’s modern and “open” world comments such as hers could be publicly heard and not refuted! They were further more infuriated that noone on the show stopped her or challenged her comments. They turned to me for my thoughts on boycotts, websites and angry emails in response to this outrage.
Op-Ed: Thank you Susie Essman!
