The olam haTorah v’haChassidus mourns the petirah of R’ Avrohom Shmuel Spalter z”l, a beloved Chossid, yerei Shomayim, and anav, who was niftar on Tuesday, 24 Nissan, at the age of 93. R’ Shmuel was born in Lancut, Poland, into a family of Bluzhover Chassidim. His early life was marked by unimaginable yesurim during the churban Europe. His mother was murdered al kiddush Hashem by the Nazis, ym”sh, and he fled with his father to Soviet Russia. There, his father passed away, and he was placed in a Communist orphanage, far from any semblance of Torah or Yiddishkeit. After the war, he was reunited with his great-uncle, R’ Mordechai Gershon Spalter, the dayan of Sonik, who adopted him and raised him with warmth and dedication.
