Baruch dayan haemes: Mrs. Tzippoh Rochel Krinsky, a devoted mother and grandmother to many, passed away on Thursday, Tammuz 26 5771.

She was 87.

Rhoda Rafer was born in Worcester, Massachusetts. She worked for Yeshivah Achei Temimim, one of the first Chabad day schools in the United States which is run by veteran Shliach Rabbi Hershel Fogelman.

“She was very staunch in her yiddishkeit and commitment to the Rebbe,” a family member told COLlive.com.

“She was very caring and devoted to her family and was very supportive of the mosdos and Rabbi Yitzchok Dovid Groner, the Head Shliach of Melbourne.”

Her husband passed away in November 2008.
