Krinsky Family Marks 2nd Yartzeit

By COLlive reporter

Rabbi Yehuda Krinsky, the secretary of the Lubavitcher Rebbe and chairman of Chabad’s central organizations Merkos L’inyochei Chinuch and Machne Israel, marked the second yartzeit anniversary of his wife on Tuesday.

Standing in the rain and flanked by his children and grandchildren, Rabbi Krinsky prayed near the grave of Mrs. Devorah Krinsky OBM at the Old Montefiore Cemetery in Cambria Heights, Queens.

Since her passing in 5773 at the age of 74, the family has been making dedications in memory of Rebbetzin Krinsky, a partner and pillar of support to her husband as he served the Rebbe.

This past year, a new Torah scroll as well as new editions of the Machzor Rosh Hashanah and Machzor Yom Kippur, published by Kehot Publication Society, were dedicated to her.

The building of Chabad of Palm Beach Gardens in Florida, led by her granddaughter and her husband Rabbi Dovid and Chana Vigler, will be dedicated later this year in memory of Rebbetzin Krinsky.

At the grave on Tuesday, family members said Tehillim and the Kaddish. During her lifetime, Rebbetzin Krinsky actively encouraged her husband to write down his memories of working in the Rebbe’s presence.

“She pushed me to write. I didn’t,” Rabbi Krinsky said at a memorial after her passing. “Now, with Hashem’s help, I will begin to spend time writing.”
