Dr. Ephraim Rubenstein, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and devoted Chosid from England who founded an organization to provide assistance to many, passed away on 4 Sivan, 5786.

He was 69.

Dr. Rubenstein founded Keren Shmuel in 1996 in memory of his father, an organisation that played an important role within the UK Jewish community by supporting religious education, charitable institutions, and families in need.

Through grants and assistance, Keren Shmuel strengthened schools, community programmes, and charitable initiatives across the United Kingdom.

In later years, he expanded his charitable work internationally through Keren Shmuel Zhitomer, further benefiting Jewish communities in Russia and Israel. Through his tzedakah initiatives, many individuals and families received educational support and financial assistance, reflecting the generosity and compassion that defined his life.

He was known for his deep warmth, unwavering faith, generosity, and devotion to his family, friends, and community. He touched countless lives through his kindness, wisdom, and caring heart, and he will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

He is survived by his wife, children, and grandchildren.
