Mrs. Pearl Krinsky, long time Chabad Shlucha in Massachusetts and wife of Rabbi Pinchus Krinsky, passed away today, Shabbos, February 7.
She took an active role in her husband’s Lubavitch Shul in Brighton, which they operated in the basement of their home on Chestnut Hill Ave.
“It was a real cozy and comfortable little shul,” Leslie A. Seigel writes in her book “Remember Mount Sinai” who prayed there for a while.
“Pearl Krinsky was the first friend I made in Boston, and I will always be so grateful to her for reaching out and helping me feel right at home.
“She and her husband are people who are truly holy yet remain humble about it. They made sure to tell us that we were welcome in that shul anytime, even if we couldn’t afford to pay for dues or High Holiday seats.
“Pearl sat next to me during services and helped me follow along. Many times, they also invited us to eat the Shabbos afternoon meal with them and their family.”
She is survived by her husband and children: Miriam Grossbaum – Australia, Sema Prus – Crown Heights, Rivky Altein – Montreal, Gitty Vigel – Boston, Etty Feigelstock – Pittsburgh, Chanie Serebranski – Denver, R’ Shmaya Krinsky – Morristown, R’ Sholom Ber Krinsky – Shliach in Vilna, R’ Mendy Krinsky – Shliach in Needham, MA.
The Levaya will take place on Sunday, 2:00pm at Shomrei Hadas chapel and passing by 770 at 2:30pm.
