With deep sadness, The Shofar reports that long-time member and synagogue gabbai Stanley Rubin died at home on Friday, Feb. 14. That his death occurred on a day that many devote to a celebration of love and affection seems fitting, given the outpouring of friendship and fond remembrances arising from the many individuals and various groups in which Stanley was so revered, none more so than within our shul.

The Shofar joins the membership in mourning the death of Stanley Rubin, whose intelligence, humor, loyalty and integrity will serve as a guide for all of us as we begin to move forward.
