Ropschitz Dynasty.
Handwritten & Autographed Letter by Harav Asher Yeshaya Rubin, Av Beis Din Radichov. Radichov, 1933
Handwritten and autographed letter by Harav Asher Yeshaya Rubin, Av Beis Din Radichov, scion of the Ropschitz dynasty.
Harav Asher Yeshaya Rubin Hy”d (circa 1893-1943) Av Beis Din of Radichov was the direct male descendant of his namesake Harav Asher Yeshaya of Ropschitz. Some of his Torah novellae were published in the Lublin edition of Kovetz HaBeer, and his responsa were published in the works of the great rabbis of Galicia.
Following the Nazi invasion of Poland, his home became a gathering place for rabbis from nearby communities. He was rounded up by the Nazis along with his community on Yom Kippur of 1943, yet he continued encouraging and inspiring his flock every step of the way as they proceeded to their deaths. He was shot and murdered that same day at the hour of Neilah, Hashem yikom damo.
