Kreindel was the sister of *R. Shaya Pik Berlin and the wife of **R Yosef Steinhardt (1720–1776) She was a מלומדת and מחדש חידושים. She was highly educated in תורה. Both, her brother & her husband quote some of her חידושים in their ספרים. Reb Shaya Pik Berlin quotes a Vort from his sister Kreindel on this  week's Parsha in his ספר הפלאה שבערכין: The גמרא says most women are into witchcraft. (רוב נשים מצויות בכשפים) so when Rochel told her father כי דרך נשים לי she was actually telling him the תרפים (the דרך נשים) are לי are with me. * He completed the מסורת הש"ס and was considered the greatest בקי of his time. ** מחבר ספר זכרון יוסף He  was the רבי of two famous תלמידים הרב מרדכי בנעט & החכם וולף היידנהיים
