Chaim Yehuda ("Yudel") Krinsky (born December 3, 1933, in Boston, Massachusetts)[1] is a rabbi and a leader in the Chabad-Lubavitch movement. He served in various positions of the movement's administrative staff since 1954, and as a personal secretary to its chief rabbi, Menachem Mendel Schneerson (along with Leib Groner and Binyomin Klein) and is chairman of the movement's main institutions.

Krinsky claims that in 1988, after Schneerson's wife died, he named Krinsky an executor of his will.[2]

As of 2004, Krinsky was among the most influential figures within the Chabad movement.[3]
