It is with great sadness that Matzav.com reports the passing of Rebbetzin Chaiky Rubin a”h, wife of Rav Y. Reuven Rubin, rov of Adass Aish Kodesh in Manchester.
After living in Brooklyn New York, where Rav Rubin opened the very first frum school for adolescent boys with learning difficulties, Rav and Rebbetzin Rubin moved to England in answer to a call from the South Manchester Community.
In the quarter of a century of service of Rav and Rebbetzin Rubin, the community was transformed, and many people who lived in the shul’s proximity began their Jewish awareness under the rebbetzin and the rov’s understanding guidance.

At Maariv tonight, December 5th, residents of chutz la’aretz begin to say Vesein Tal Umatar during the Shemonah Esrei in the bracha of Boreich Aleinu. Residents of Eretz Yisroel already began saying Vesein Tal Umatar on the 7th of Cheshvan.
If one became aware after completing the bracha of Mevareich Hashanim that one omitted Vesein Tal Umatar, one should wait to insert it right before “Ki atah shomeiah” in Shema Koleinu.

All are asked to daven for the refuah sheleimah of Rav Meshulam Dovid Soloveitchik, rosh Yeshivas Brisk in Yerushalayim, who is hospitalized at Hadassah hospital in Yerushalayim.
Rav Dovid’s condition has taken a turn for the worse. He is in the ICU of the hospital and is in need of rachamei Shomayim.
Rav Dovid has been in and out of the hospital over the last two weeks.
Rav Dovid is the fifth of twelve children – and the third son – of the Brisker Rov, Rav Yitzchok Zev Soloveitchik, and Rebbetzin Alte Hendel.
A tefillah gathering will be held tonight at 10 p.m. at Rav Dovid’s yeshiva, located on Rechov Grossberg in Yerushalayim.
