Rabbi jacob rubenstein
From PhillipRhoadesWiki
A rabbi was killed by a fast moving fire along with his wife. . . Sad times indeed. It sounds like they were good people.
From http://www.jta.org/cgi-bin/iowa/breaking/108040.html "Rubenstein, 58, was born in Germany and immigrated to the United States as a young child, moving to Memphis, Tenn., according to his biography on the Young Israel's Web site. He studied at yeshivas in Chicago and Israel, and earned his bachelors' degree in Talmud and Jewish philosophy at Hebrew University in Jerusalem. He later earned a master's degree at Harvard University in Near Eastern languages and civilizations. The rabbi was a scholar and a community leader. He chaired the rabbinic advisory council of the UJA-Federation of New York, was a past president of the Westchester Board of Rabbis and was a member of the board of directors of the Washington Institute for Jewish Leadership and Values."
