Boruch Dayan Ha’emes: R’ Pinchas Cunin, OBM
With great sadness we inform you of the passing of Reb Pinchas Cunin of Crown Heights at the age of 72.
Rabbi Cunin grew up in the Bronx, where he was instilled with a Chassidishe Chinuch by his parents and grandparents, who were from the first Chabad Chassidim in the United States.
He is survived by his 12 children; his wife, Bina; and his brother Reb Shlomo Cunin, head Shlaich to the west coast.
The levaya passed in front of 770 at 9:30 this morning.

Pinny Cunin, as we knew him, together with his brother Shlomo, trail-blazed by organizing an aron design to facilitate the kevurah of their grandfather, hachasid Reb Mendel Cunin, without a hefsek of holtz (between the niftar and the karka). He was thus a mezakeh ess harabim.
