To the Crown Heights community and the Chabad family at large, Sheyichyu
This week we experienced a shocking and horrible tragedy, the sudden loss of my dear husband R’ Mordechai Tzvi, Moty Scheinfeld, A”H. My family is heartbroken and we will never be the same. Although we are suffering, we know we will survive and live our lives again with the fondest memories of a great husband, father, and of course, a loving Zaidy.
It says that Hashem prepares the medicine before the illness. In our case, Hashem prepared the best medicine for us, our beautiful loving immediate and extended family and our amazing friends and neighbors here and the world over. I have received the warmest emails and messages via text and Whatsapp from people I know and those I do not know….those who knew Moty and those who did not.
During this week, we were fed the most delicious and plentiful meals. Most of all, we were blown away by the hundreds of people who came to be Menachem us, sharing stories and memories of their relationships with Moty, either personal or professional. You gave us comfort and strength.
As we welcome Shabbos, I encourage you to celebrate Shabbos the way Moty celebrated Shabbos. Not only enjoying it because of its holiness but because of the special time with the family, singing, sharing stories of our individual weeks at school or work, and of course, lots of laughter and good times.
With tremendous thanks and wishes to you for a most Freilichen Shabbos,
Aliza Scheinfeld and family

I am so touched by this message. I don’t know you or your husband, but getting up from Shiva from a beloved husband, to have uppermost on your mind, the other, is exemplary.
May Hashem comfort you as only he can. Already, you have brought so much honour and dignity to the name of your husband your most selfless message. May his life continue to inspire you and your children, may Hashem shower you with only the best health, and an abundance of nachas, good news and brochos.You are a special person.

Only a very special person would think of others and take the time to express your appreciation so soon after your tragedy. I am so sorry for your loss BDE.
Aliza you are a pillar of strength, coming to be Menachem Avel you gave me strength, your positive attitude during this most difficult time is a reflection on the amazing people you are. Your belief if the imminent revelation of Moshiach is palpable. May we have the Zechus to greet Moshiach Now!!
Mrs. Scheinfeld, you are truly incredible. May you and your family know only simchas from here on forward.
Wow!
May Hashem comfort you and your entire family amongst the mourners of yerushalayim
Dear Aliza
Your words are so precious. You are so sweet and you and your family have had such an open door always for my family and particularly my daughter. We will never forget your dear husband and we will continue to lift up your family in prayer, asking that H-shem give you strength to carry on and to carry on the legacy of Reb Moty, OBM.
H-shem bless you and keep you
