Rabbi Rubin is that unique blend of spiritual leader. Having studied under some of the past generation's greatest Chasidic leaders, he has developed a special approach that is both warm and enlightening. After serving as a Rav and educator in Brooklyn New York, where Rav Rubin opened the very first Chasidic Yeshiva for adolescent boys with learning difficulties, the Rav came to England in answer to a call from the South Manchester Community. This was over twenty two years ago and his arrival was considered a huge breakthrough for Torah orthodoxy in that area. This difficult decision was made with the blessing and coaxing from the Lev Simcha of Ger and the Bobover Rebbe Ztl.

In these two decades the community has been transformed, and many students who lived in its proximity began their Torah awareness under the Rav’s understanding guidance.

Now housed in a new Torah centre in Bowdon, the community is seen as one of the fastest growing Kehilla’s in the North.

Rabbi Rubin’s leadership abilities have been recognised in the wider circles of rabbinic life and he has served as the Chairman of the Rabbinical Council of the Provinces for a number of years.

His writings have long been cherished by the readership of both the Jewish Tribune and the Hamodea, and he has had published five volumes of his heart warming words. Recently his three volume work on Tehilim, “Rhythm of the Heart” has appeared in a new boxed set and its uniquely sensitive message of hope has found its way into many homes. “The Rabbi’s Journal,” a matchless insight into the life and work of a communal Rav, have long been popular, and continue to instil chizuk into the hearts of thousands of readers.

The Rav’s sermons and droshas are well known to be filled with wit, humour and spiritual insight, and he is a sought after speaker at many communal occasions.

Rabbi Rubin and his Rebbetzin are well known for their tireless work for others, especially those seeking to become closer to our heritage, or those facing difficult times in their lives.
