In 2010 and 2011 he earned Newsweek's first-place mention in the list of the fifty most influential US rabbis. In 2012 Rabbis Krinsky's top spot on America's 50 Most Influential Rabbis was ceded to Rabbi David Wolpe and Rabbi Krinsky took second place.

“By now, legions of tireless essayists and op-ed columnists have dressed feminists down for making such a fuss about entering the professions and earning equal pay that everyone’s attention has been distracted from the important contributions of mothers working at home. This judgment presumes, of course, that prior to the resurgence of feminism in the ‘70s, housewives and mothers enjoyed wide recognition and honor. This was not exactly the case.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
“Tragedy, as you know, is always a fait accompli, whereas terror always has to do with anticipation, with man’s recognition of his own negative potential—with his sense of what he is capable of.”
—Joseph Brodsky (b. 1940)
