Rabbi Y.Y. Rubenstein is a Scottish-American rabbi who inspires and encourages the countless people who reach out to him for guidance. He is also the author of many books and a sought-after speaker
His wife lay on her death bed. Rabbi Rubenstein knew that barring a nes as great as Yetziyas Mitzrayim, his wife was dying. Yet when she said to him, “Promise me that you will remarry – and I even know who you should remarry,” he wanted to scream, “No, no, no.” He didn’t want to admit that his wife was dying. And so he only consented to her requests out of pity that she should not use any more of her waning strength begging him to comply.
Rabbi Rubenstein talks about intellectual responses and heart-based responses. He talks about remarriage and how blended families can be such a blessing or alternatively, how children can tear them apart. He speaks from personal experience. He speaks from rabbinical experience. He is also a sought-after speaker and talented author. He hears stories. He shares stories. He tries to reach out to others and to help. Have others found him helpful?
