Hamodia: Tribute To Rebbetzin Sheila Feinstein, A”h

NEW YORK - Hundreds gathered Thursday morning to mourn the petirah of Rebbetzin Sheila (Chava Sarah) Feinstein, a”h, the wife of, ybl”c, Harav Reuven Feinstein, shlita, who was niftar on Wednesday night, 28 Menachem Av. She had been hospitalized for the past two weeks following serious injuries suffered in an automobile accident. The Rebbetzin was in her late 70s.

Photo: Chaskel Bennett
At the levayah, held at the Yeshivah of Staten Island, Rav Reuven spoke of his late Rebbetzin’s great dedication in her essential role in enabling his own growth and decades of harbotzas haTorah.
“She supported me … she was mechazek me and took care of the whole olam hazeh part of my life,” he said.

With a commanding and regal presence, joined with exceptional intelligence and wit, Rebbetzin Feinstein’s dynamic personality propelled her to be one of the pillars upon which her husband’s yeshivah stood, and to be among the most trusted and loyal assistants to her revered father-in-law, Harav Moshe Feinstein, zt”l. At the same, she was a highly respected educator for many years in New York City’s Public School system and later in several mosdos haTorah.



The Rebbetzin grew up on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, where her parents, Reb Avrohom, z”l, and Mrs. Ita Devorah Kaplan, a”h, resided. She was a student in the very first class of the neighborhood’s Bais Yaakov, and took great pride in having remained steadfast in her commitment to Yiddishkeit at a time when many of her peers succumb to the rampant assimilationist trends that prevailed at the time.

Even while pursuing higher education, when challenged by classmates or professors, young Sheila, with signature strength and down-to-earth logic, never shied away from standing up for her beliefs.

In the early 1960s, she would marry Rav Reuven, ybl”c, Rav Moshe’s youngest child, who by then had already distinguished himself for his great dedication and mastery of Torah. Despite becoming the daughter-in-law of one of the Gedolei Yisrael, the decision to marry a talmid chacham and to take a role in supporting his years of study in kollel was hardy a popular or easy one at the time.

In addition to her key role in aiding her husband’s growth, the Rebbetzin increasingly became one of the main caregivers to Rav Moshe and his wife in their later years. Living in an apartment nearby, the Rebbetzin became a regular presence in the home of the elder Feinsteins, doing all she could to assist her father-in-law, relating that she hand-sewed the robe he often wore around the house.

In 1966, Rav Reuven opened a branch of Mesivtha Tiferes Jerusalem (MTJ) in Staten Island, widely known as the Yeshivah of Staten Island. Despite the many responsibilities of her family and professional life at that point, the Rebbetzin played an active role in seeing to it that the physical amenities of the yeshivah should be such that its talmidim would be able to focus entirely on their studies. With a keen eye for detail and an understanding of the challenges faced by a young bachur away from home, she saw to it that particulars like the menu and other comforts were such that the talmidim should feel cared for and nurtured. It is due in no small part to the Rebbetzin’s dedication that the yeshivah has long been one of Klal Yisrael’s noted mosdos haTorah.

For many years, the Rebbetzin worked an elementary-school teacher in New York public schools. Even in the increasingly challenging culture of the city’s educational system, her majestic and forceful bearing garnered great respect. She would go on to be appointed a principal, a position that she successfully occupied for many years. As when she was a classroom teacher, while maintaining discipline and high academic standards, she also exuded a sincere sense of caring and devotion to the pupils in her charge. In the decades she spent in the public school system, the Rebbetzin not only raised performance levels in her schools, but was a source of widely recognized kiddush shem Shamayim with her intellect and integrity.

Even after retiring from her position in the public schools, the Rebbetzin served for many years as the general studies principal at the girls’ division of Yeshivat Shaarei Torah in Flatbush and afterward as curriculum advisor at MTJ’s Lower East Side location. At both mosdos, the Rebbetzin took on her role with tremendous dedication, seeing to it that the schools were run in a way that would best accommodate the student body and made herself readily available for, staff, parents, and talmidim alike.

As in her professional life, when dealing with family and the broader community, the Rebbetzin took a strong and sharp, yet loving approach.

“To read Eishes Chayil, it’s all about you,” her son, Harav Dovid Beinish Feinstein, said in his hesped. “My father … once spoke about how people do chessed because … [on some level] they want something back. My mother did chessed shel emes for everybody.”

On July 24, the Rebbetzin and Rav Reuven were in a car accident. Rav Reuven suffered relatively light injuries, while the Rebbetzin was hospitalized and listed in serious condition. Soon after the incident, initial reports had been optimistic for her recovery, but in recent days, she took a turn for the worse and was niftar late Wednesday night.

Following the levayah in Staten Island, the aron was flown to Eretz Yisrael for kevurah on Har Hamenuchos.

The Rebbetzin is survived by, ybl”c, her husband Rav Reuven, sons Harav Dovid Beinush and Harav Avrohom, daughters Rebbetzin Malka Eisenberg and Rebbetzin Ahuvah Weiss, as well as by many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Yehi zichrah baruch.

What Keeps Lakewood's Downtown and town from Thriving and Increased Traffic

August 12, 2018, 9:57 am

Submitted by HH
We had the opportunity to bring in many stores that would have been able to revitalize our downtown and keep it from becoming a location of storefronts for drug dealers that need to launder their cash and other illegal activities. Unfortunately our own committeemen were too invested in building "convenient" strip malls and attracting some stores away from the area that quite frankly would have benefited from a more visible downtown setting. Small changes and a continuation of parking lots on the east side of Clifton, similar to what we have on the west side, could have made the downtown driver friendly and a walkable shopping experience. Perhaps not for daily needs such as groceries ,but for dining and specialty shopping. Small eateries open until late would have helped the area as well. Of course we would not promote bars and outdoor cafes to fill Clifton ave.
The downtown is the face of Lakewood. We are judged by how it looks. When we see million dollar homes and billboards for all types of fancy lifestyle stores , and our downtown remains a crime ridden slum, it does not reflect nicely on our community.
We tried to make a farmers market every Sunday in the muster zone. We were stopped. Meir Lichtenstein and Menashe miller would rather have homeless drug dealers sleeping there instead. If it doesnt fit in with their "vision" of what Lakewood should be, In other words if they arent benefitting directly from something, or told by certain people to do something, they will never do it.
Some examples of the blatant corruption and ineptitude over the years that keeps our downtown and town from thriving and increased traffic congestion on route nine with more and more small strip malls.
1. Refusal to make the downtown a redevelopment zone
2. Refusal to allow an oversight committee to give permits for stores and facade issues. A weekly farmers market in muster zone parking lot. Muster zone should be closed down, it is not being used and only houses homeless and drug users.
3.Need for inspections of any unlivable apartments and buildings. If the buildings are not fit for human habitation, then what type of people are living in them?
4. Refusal to allow signage rules to be ratified and enforced and refusal to allow free garbage cans to be installed paid for with local ads on the side of the cans.
5. Strand theater apartment rentals that lose money should be closed down, but some people make money off of them. Not the taxpayers. Strand theater should be given over to be operated by a company with the intent to make a profit for the town, not for strand ventures inc. Whose president is Raymond Coles. If it cannot make money, sell it.
6. A committeeman that manages strip malls should either get a new job or leave the committee.
7. A parking garage without additional stores or offices should be added to the back of the municipal building for all day parking of township employees and court attendees. The town square area can be reduced and add an additional 50 spaces to the outside for shoppers.
8. A 3 hour limit for parking in all township lots outside of the garage. Permit stickers can be purchased by stores for employees that require all day parking.
Eventually as the downtown becomes a destination we can have a numbered space system with a small fee to park.
There are many more details that need to be addressed before the downtown even starts to become pleasant. But in the meantime we have some of the most one of a kind stores that still attract customers from far away.
Bagel Nosh is an institution. The lines out the door are proof of that.
Juvenile planet has the largest selection and best prices of any baby items. Piccolino as well adds to that selection.
Many childrens clothing stores to choose from. Tottini to Ladida.
Pizza shops. Candyland .Clothing for Men and women,Twin City Jewelry and repair. Eyewear. And of course the largest Toy Store with the largest selection of quality toys you will ever see anywhere.

So often people come up to me and say I was in such and such a town and we walked around the downtown and it was so pleasant and beautiful. Why cant we have that here. The short answer is we could. We just need to get rid of the people that care more about themselves than the klal. With permission of course.
