Rabbi Velvel Krinsky, an elder Chossid of the Lubavitch community in Australia, has passed away today, Friday, in Melbourne some 10 minutes before Shabbos candle lighting.
He was 93.
American born and bred, Krinsky was an army veteran who served in the U.S. army on aircraft carriers in World War II.
Born Ze’ev Arye Krinsky in Plymouth, MA, his father R’ Shmaya Krinsky OBM raised him and his siblings in a Chassidic environment, in great contrast to the spirit of the liberal state.
He lived in Worcester, MA, before moving to Australia where he was active in religious affairs as a Schochet, Mohel and Chazzan.
He is survived by his siblings: Mrs. Rivka Hecht, New Haven, CT; Mrs. Chava Shusterman, Chicago, IL; Mrs. Nechama Goodman, Chicago, IL; R’ Yosef Krinsky, Crown Heights; Rabbi Pinchas Krinsky, Boston, MA; Rabbi Yehuda Krinsky, Crown Heights; Mrs. Yochi Goldberg, Boston, MA.
And his children: Mrs. Chaya Raisel Glick, Melbourne; R’ Hershel Krinsky, Crown Heights; R’ Avraham Shmaryahu Krinsky, Melbourne; R’ Dovid Reuven Krinsky, Sydney; Mrs. Fraida Teitelbaum, Montreal, Canada.
