Baruch Dayan Emes. We are grateful for the kindness and hospitality Breina Sheina and her husband Mottel Deitsch showed us whenever we visited our son/brother, Dovid Levitan olev hashalom and/or his family in New Haven CT. May her family be comforted among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem. Barbara Levitan Sexter & Donna Levitan Karmel.

October 7, 2014 4:29 pm

Being a close family friend, Brana Shaina was so much a part of our childhood, in Crown Hts and at Koltuv Bungalow Colony way back when. Wherever she was she motivated all of us to do the right thing and do our best and go the extra mile and she did this not by lecturing but simply by being a role model and an example of what’s right. She never seemed to linger or make cheshbonos but just “did” and she did so much. Seriously, in her presence I found new strength and vigor to do more on a personal… Read more »

October 7, 2014 1:23 pm

Brana Sheina, I just sat with you a whole Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur in 770 as we have for the past 20 years. Sitting so close…. You taught me so much about how to daven. Saying every single with word with so much kavanah and feeling….. Brana Sheina…You did not even go home for the break. You stayed in shul saying more tehillim. And then after the fast instead of running out you davened Maariv and listened to Havdalah. I am in total shock!! Brana Sheina, you would come to Shul every single Shabbos in the summer . You… Read more »

Brana Sheina A”H was one of the first people I met when wemoved to Crown Heights 30 years ago. Such a fine lady, always a good word, a real dugma chaya. What a terrible loss, not only to her family but to eveyone who had the zchus to know her. I don’t have the right words, I am in shock.

Our sincere condolences, Boruch Dayan Emes

Our sincere condolences to the families, from Eretz Yisroel.
To the Deitsch families, the Shatzmans, the Bergs, and all the extended families. We were one of those who knew her as Bonnie, from Danielson. We have many fond memories! We should only emulate all her good! Vita Goldstein

Can't believe this!
October 7, 2014 9:40 am

Brana Shaina, also known to many of us old timers as Bonnie, was the epitome of principle resulting in action.Her p’tirah is shocking beyond words.The Deitsch family without her is simply unimagineable. She was a doer – may she succeed in cajoling Der Aibershter to send Moshiach immediately.

Every guest....
October 7, 2014 9:36 am

Every person…I host or feed in my home for almost 30 years is all to her credit. I spent many years in her home and it shaped the way I am today. No words can describe her and how much we will miss her. But one thing…we will continue to make her proud. We love you and miss you. Cadaner family

Utter Shock!
October 7, 2014 8:57 am

I just spoke with Brana Shaina, obm, (!!!!!!) during Aseret Yemei Teshuva. I had spent an amazing Rosh HaShanna in Fairfax where her son, Rabbi Shokie Deitsch, sheyiche is an outstanding shaliach of the Rebbe, ZY’A. My kesher with Brana Shaina, goes back almost to the time that I moved to Crown Heights, nearly 40 years ago. Although not in frequent contact, our conversation picked up where we left off. Nothing prepared me for hearing this painful news. There really is no comfort possible until the Immediate Geula, Keyh yehi ratzon, Amen! Mrs. Penina Metal
