A Devastating Loss – A Beloved Husband, Devoted Father, Zeide, and Ehrliche Yid
With tremendous pain, we share the sudden petirah of Rabbi Pinny Scheiner z”l — a beloved husband, devoted father and zeide, and ehrliche Yid.
Rabbi Scheiner worked tirelessly and quietly to support his family with dignity and mesirus nefesh. Whether as a rebbi, tutor, mashgiach, chevra kadisha, or through countless other acts of avodas hakodesh, he never stopped giving of himself for others.
To the members of Bais Chabad of Oak Park, he was far more than the longtime gabbai. He was the steady presence behind everything — the one who opened the shul, stayed late, helped everyone, and carried the burden of the tzibbur with humility and heart. So much of what happened in the shul simply happened because Rabbi Scheiner was there.
He leaves behind his devoted wife of 39 years, 10 children, many grandchildren, and a family shattered by this unimaginable loss. Along with the overwhelming aveilus, they are now facing serious financial hardship after losing the husband and father who worked so hard, for so many years, to care for them.
In the zechus of supporting an almana and yesomim, we ask the community to come together and help lighten their burden. Every donation, every share, and every tefillah means more than words can express.
May the Ribbono Shel Olam bentch all those who help with bracha, yeshuos, and only simchos, and may the Scheiner family know no more tzaar.
