Rabbi Chaim Pinchas Scheinberg Passes Away at 101

Jerusalem - Rabbi Chaim Pinchas Scheinberg, the Rosh Yeshiva of Mattersdorf prominent Yeshiva Torah Ore, one of Kiryat Mattersdorf's most highly regarded Rabbonim, and a member of Moetzes Gedolei Hatorah, who was renowned for wearing dozens of pairs of tzitzis passed away this afternoon Sha'arei Tzedek hospital, at the age of one hundred and one.
R' Scheinberg who was born in Ostrov, Poland to his parents, R' Yaakov Yitzchok and Yosefa in 1910, spent the first nine years of his life not knowing his father who had gone to America to avoid the Polish draft. R' Yaakov Yitzchok lost countless jobs due to his refusal to work on Shabbos and became so destitute he slept alongside the FDR Drive with only a blanket, a pillow and an umbrella, while his wife earned money milking cows at dawn for Polish farmers, using some of her wages to hire a melamed for her son Chaim who, even at a young age, already displayed an incredible aptitude for limud Torah. While the family lost contact during World War I, they managed to reconnect after the war and by 1919 R' Yaakov Yitzchak had opened a tailor shop and was able to bring his wife and two sons to America.
R' Scheinberg lived as a child on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, first attending public school, then enrolling in the Rabbi Jacob Joseph School for several years. R' Scheinberg was invited by Rabbi Yaakov Yosef Herman, a pioneer of Torah Judaism in the early 1900's who was profiled in the book All For The Boss, to transfer to R' Yehuda Heschel Levenberg's New Haven yeshiva, Beis Medrash LeRabonim, which taught only limudei Kodesh. By the time R' Scheinberg left the yeshiva two and a half years later, not only was he known as a masmid, he had already finished all of Shas. More at www.vosizneias....

The Rebbe gave me his blessing back in 1986. I should have stayed in Jerusalem to be one of his disciples.

Baruch Dayan haEMEs.. a gadol b'Torah has left this world for the World to Come, and he will be sorely missed here, while his holy neshama joins our avot and the Tzadikim from generations past, who have left this world before him.

Alain de Botton, a Sephardi Jew Swiss/British writer, philosopher, Says What this Rebbe Says in a Chapter, and Goes on to explain How we can Help this World, The tragedy is That this Rebbe Forgets that the World is Full of Kedusho, and He has No message about how to help it, Only his own Life inside religion, And his Own Ruchaniyus, , i'm Sorry but i need be Irrational to not think So.
