We regret to inform you of the Petirah of Rebbetzin Feiga Yehudis Gringras A”H, who was Niftar today at the age of 94.
Rebbetzin Gringras was the mother in law of Rabbi Moshe Reich, Rav of Bais Medrash Letora Utefila 1015 Tuxedo Terrace. She was the legendary camp mother of Camp Adas Yereim for many decades and left her impression on countless campers over the years.
She was a daughter of the famous Fishbain family originally from Chicago and later from Williamsburg. Reb Elchonon Wasserman stayed at the Fishbain home on his travel to US in prewar years.
Her other children are Rabbi Avraham Aron Gringras of Yerushalaim, and Rabbis Shmuel and Mordechai Gringras of NY. She lost two sons in her lifetime. Moshe and Nochum Dov.
Her husband Harav Chaim Gringras was an old Mir talmid who came to NY from Shanghai. He was a chavrusa of Reb Michel Birnbaum for about 50 years and ran the NY office of the Israeli Kamenitz Yeshiva for many years.
The Levaya will take place tomorrow, Monday, at 8AM at the 7th Street Chapel and in NY at 10:00 from Shomrei Hachomos.
