Eulogy on R. Shmuel Straschun (RaShaSH) authored by R. Yitzchak Eliyahu Landau.
R. Shmuel Straschun (1793-1872) was born near Vilna and studied under his father R. Yosef, gaining renown as a tremendous Talmid Chochom. After his marriage he settled in his wife’s hometown of Straschun. He eventually relocated to Vilna where he established a distillery and became one of the most prominent members of the community. While his wife conducted the business, he devoted his time to studying and teaching the Talmud. His glosses on Shas have been incorporated into every recent edition of the Talmud under the title Hago’hos Ha’RaShaSH.
