A pair of beloved grandparents who died in the Florida building collapse were remembered as “pillars of the community” during an emotional levaya in Brooklyn today
Tzvi Ainsworth, 68, and his 65-year-old wife, Ingrid “Itty” Ainsworth were among the first victims of the June 24 Surfside tragedy to be laid to rest.
Before their kevurah at a Queens cemetery, the couple’s wooden coffins were placed side-by-side outside the Chabad-Lubavitch World Headquarters in Crown Heights for mourners to pay their respects.
