I have known Rabbi Rubenstein and his family for many years. I was Dorothy's hairdresser and I loved her dearly. I also cut the Rabbi's hair for many years. My sincere condolences to Joel, Sharon and Marty. Joel was very devoted to his parents and I know this will be hard for him. I am praying for the family.

Rabbi Rubenstein was my Uncle Shmai. I haven't seen him in years, nor have I been in contact with him or my cousins for that matter. I do want to send my condolences to my cousins- Marty, Sharon and Joel. I can vividly picture my uncle and can even hear his voice for that matter- even after all these years. As a child growing up, the memories I have of all the Rubenstein brothers and their families in their younger days will always be happy ones. Time and miles keep us apart, but every one of you are always, and will always be in my heart. May G-d bless you all at this time. Love from your cousin Sue Rubenstein.
