Boruch Dayan Haemes – Reb Moshe Rubin OBM

With sadness we inform you of the passing of Reb Moshe Rubin at age 73 on Friday night. Reb Moshe was a longtime resident of Crown Heights and was a Mispalel at Cong. Crown Heights Yeshiva – Bais Rivkah.

The Levaya will take place Tomorrow, Sunday and will be passing by 770 at around 10:00am, from there the Kevurah will take place at the New Montefoire Cemetery in Queens.

Boruch Dayan Hoemes

By Rabbi Pinchas G. Allouche

He was nicknamed “the outsider,” “the different.” The norm was his personal enemy. He resented the mainstream leaders of society, as he hoped to create a change of direction for people and a new destiny for the world.

His name? Abraham the Hebrew, literally meaning: Abraham, from the other side. He was so called, for as the Talmud teaches, “the entire world was on one side, and he, Abraham was on the other side." Indeed, a true revolutionary who changed the landscape of our globe and its history, through the noble notion of monotheism.

It is Abraham’s approach in this week’s Torah portion that has inspired us, the Hebrew nation, to challenge our environment, its habits and its cultures, and to always thirst for true purpose and meaning. And it is this approach that has led me to question the “Halloween” festivities that have already begun to flood the streets of this country. Are we to celebrate this seemingly innocent holiday? After all, as a dear friend mentioned to me, it is just like the Jewish festival of Purim!
