R’ Betzalel (Stanley) Kinn, a member of the Chabad community in Manchester, UK, passed away on Shabbos, 18th Cheshvan, 5783.
He was 84 and passed away days before his birthday.
R’ Betzalel served as the shliach to Ramsgate in Thanet Kent, England for approximately 10 years. In the 1960s, Lubavitch leased Mill House for their activities on the former Sir Moses Montefiore estate. For many years he was a teacher and educator in London, and more recently a member of the Chabad community in Manchester.
He is survived by his wife Mrs. Rifka Kinn and their children R’ Shlomie Kinn – Manchester, UK; R’ Boruch Kinn – Manchester, UK; Rabbi Moshe Chaim Kinn – Manchester, UK; and R’ Yossi Kinn – Las Vegas, NV, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
The levaya was held on Sunday 13th November 2022 in Manchester.
Baruch Dayan Ha’emes.
Reb Betzalel, know as Stanley had the best sense of humor. He was a big pillar to the London community for many many years.
He always invited guests to his house on Clapton Common, if you didn’t show up to his house, he’ll come to your house! to find out where you were……
He’ll be missed to the London/Manchester community.
A huge loss. He was larger than life and gave and gave and gave! Condolences to Rivka & sons.

He was a larger than life personality who loved helping others. He left an everlasting impression on us kids growing up in London. Yehei Zichro Baruch!
Such a loss of such a special person 😢 may we see him with the coming of moshiach right now!
I remember all these attributes mentioned above, during the 1960’s & 1970’s when growing up in Stamford Hill. From his private tutoring I also know that he was way ahead of his time in that arena too.
To all who are surviving the great personality of your family, please take some consolation in considering the sheer magnitude involved in earning such a place, as described above, in the long term memory of very young children, who are now grandparents living around the world, such as myself.
This is his sister Evelyn Charles. Thank you for all the wonderful accolades coming in from around the world , we appreciate them so very much. My brother was unique, an amazing personality and a genius intellect. There was only EVER ONE STAN and he will be surely missed ,but because of his ill health the time was right.
He was 85 not 84 he turned 85 on the 30th of October.
