Rabbi Dubitsky and the Valley
Rabbi Dubitsky came to Phoenix from New Jersey, where he had served as senior rabbi of a congregation, to lead the community kollel based at Beth Joseph Congregation as its executive director, and served as Beth Joseph's associate rabbi. Many families in the Valley know him from his years of teaching Torah here.
Those who wish to be menachem avel are encouraged to reach out to the family once shiva details are known. Being with a family in its time of loss is among the great chasadim a kehillah can do.
Hamakom yenachem eschem b'soch she'ar aveilei Tzion v'Yerushalayim.
Kol Phoenix shares levayos and shiva information as a service to the kehillah. Corrections and additions are always welcome.
