BDE: Mrs. Chana Bienenfeld, 90, OBM

With great sadness we report the passing of Mrs. Chana Bienenfeld OBM, a member of the Chabad community of Farmingdale, NY and grandmother of many Shluchim. She passed away on the 19th of Cheshvan 5783.

She was 90 years old.

Mrs. Bienenfeld lived for many decades in Farmingdale, NY, where her home was a beacon of light as the only frum home in town. Together with her husband, Reb Moshe Bienenfeld a”h they influenced many local Yidden in the observance of Torah and Mitzvos.

Despite the difficulties of keeping Cholov Yisroel outside of frum neighborhoods in the 1970’s, they valiantly kept to the highest standards.

Mrs. Bienenfeld served as a Talmud Torah teacher for over 50 years.

She merited to be at Yechidus with the Rebbe and was always proud of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, many of whom serve as Shluchim and Rabbonim.

She is survived by her daughter, Mrs. Shoshana Lifshitz (Cincinnati, OH) and her son Rabbi Yaakov Bienenfeld (Harrison, NY).

The levaya was held in New York on Sunday, 19 Cheshvan.

Shiva will be held in the Bienenfeld home in Harrison, NY.
