Naftoly, Reizel, Moshe & Suzie & all the children
The first thing I thought when I read this was that he taught me Alef Bais as well as thousands of other children in London too!
Rabbi Shtrocks was not just THE Alef Beis teacher to thousands of children throughout the years, but he genuinely cared about a fellow Yid. He was the one who spent time with the less fortunate. He was also a GREAT Baal Tefillah. He was a truly special man, with a special heart and a special Neshomoh.
B”H
Im very shocked and sorry to read this news (Baruch Dayan´Haemet)
He has no idea how much he changed in germany trough his son in cologne alone.
All of us at Congregation Levi Yitzchok in Morristown, New Jersey are sorry to hear the sad news.
May Hashem comfort all of the family together with all the mourners of Zion and Yerushalayim.
what a special person!!
To Mrs. Musia Schtroks, children & mishpocha.
May Hashem comfort you, together with the mourners of Tzion, and Yerushalayim.
GEMAR CHASIMA TOVA.
BD”E! I had the privilege amongst hundreds of others to be taught alef beis by Rabbi Schtrocks. He taught using the real old fashioned mesorah – and we all learned how to read – to truly read fluently!
he will be missed
what age was he?
