A very special yid; He did so much for Bnai Yehuda. A sign of his gadlus is the kavod and hisbatlus he showed for the Rav.
Indeed… Indeed as someone who grew up and davened in Bnei Yehuda, I can tell you he will sorely be missed. HE was a paragon of chashivus a man who radiated warmth and incredible simcha, despite witnessing it all, a tremendous supporter and mainstay of that special Shul on the corner of 16th & 53rd.
Yehi Zichro Baruch.
What a loss to klal Yisrael. Wa’s such a special man and loved by all

Yes…remember as a kid he used to announce the simchos in shul with such joy and happiness for the baal simcha. he wore a smile on his face as he stepped up to the podium to make the announcements. always checked with the rav shlit”a or rabbi emert z”l before doing or saying anything…he will be missed.
wow I remember when bnei Yehuda was a weekday minyan factory, it was a main shul in boro park,there at 53rd and 16th I remember the famous 730shabbos minyan downstairs that Mr. Maishy Kushner still runs, and Mr. Rubin was one of the leaders, he will be missed by everyone!
