Our condolences to Reuven Dovid’s wife, Dina and hers and Robert’s family. I worked with Reb “Bob” in the law business – and all knew him to be brilliant and true to the Torah in his business dealings and with fellow men and I also had the zechut to learn with him a few times together with the renowned goan Harav Chaim Zimmerman, zatz”al (in the Young Israel of Chicago). May all his family be comforted along with the mourners of Tzion and Yesrushalyim. (PS – Tried to call In Israel just now.)
