It is with great sadness that Matzav.com reports the tragic passing of Shaindy Mashinsky a”h of Monsey, NY. She was 18 years old.
Shaindy was a daughter of Rav Yosef Mashinsky, menahel of Yeshiva Bais Dovid of Monsey.
Shaindy’s mother, Mrs. Breindel Leah Mashinsky a”h, passed away a number of years ago.
Shaindy was a granddaughter of Rav Hershel z”l and Rebbetzin Malka Mashinsky a”h. Rav Hershel was the co-founder of Kupath Ezrah of Rockland County and a longtime rebbi at Yeshiva of Spring Valley who was renowned in the community for his expertise in the field of chinuch and his unceasing involvement in tzorchei tzibbur. Shaindy’s father, Rav Yosef, has carried on that tradition with his work in the world of chinuch and his efforts in the realm of chesed.
Tragically, he has now suffered the loss of his daughter some years after first losing his rebbetzin. לקינו בכפלים.
