About

edit

Abraham Aaron Rubashkin (1927 or 1928 – April 2, 2020) was an American businessman. An ultra-Orthodox Jew of the Lubavitcher hasidic movement, he was born in the Russian town Nevel in the former Soviet Union. He was the owner of a kosher butcher shop in Brooklyn, New York, which opened in 1953. He was the head, usually referred to as "patriarch", of the Rubashkin family, dubbed the "kosher meat dynasty" by The New York Times. The Rubashkin family is a tight-knit family, well known among orthodox Jews in Brooklyn for its wealth and generosity towards Jewish causes. Rubashkin was the owner and president of most of the family's businesses, many of which have faced legal problems. Most notable of those problems were those of Agriprocessors, once the largest kosher slaughterhouse and meat-packaging factory in the United States. Agriprocessors went into bankruptcy after the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) staged a raid of the plant known as the "Postville Raid" for employing illegal immigrant laborers.
