Rabbi Yehuda Rubinstein (1899-1973), son of Rabbi Mordechai Rubinstein (1844-1917) who served as magid in Krakow for 30 years, authored the book Doresh L'Frakim on Pirkei Avot. In 1907, he ascended to Jerusalem with his father. These glosses were written when he was young [before his father's death in 1917] and his genius Torah knowledge is apparent from a young age. In 1922, he traveled to the USA to work as the secretary of Rabbi Dov Leventhal Av Beit Din of Philadelphia and president of Agudat HaRabbanim. Eventually, he moved to Chicago and to New York, there he was active in Torah and writing activities. Was also a well-known bibliographer.
Renowned for his fabulous memory and known as an expert bibliographer, he wrote many Torah articles and edited several Torah periodicals. [For a short list of his history and for a bibliography of his publications, see the article written by Rabbi Tuvia Pershel HaDarom, 45, Tishrei 1978]. Most of his writings are still in manuscript form.
