Rabbi Reuven Feinstein is the youngest of the four children of Rabbi Moshe and Shima (Sima) Feinstein and the only one to be born in America. His older siblings — Faye Gittel (deceased), Shifra (deceased), and Dovid were all born in Luban, Russia (now part of Poland), where Rabbi Moshe was the city's Rav until 1937.[1]
Rabbi Feinstein joined his father in establishing the Yeshiva of Staten Island in 1966. He has served as Rosh Yeshiva of the yeshiva ever since. [4]
