Ron Rubin has released his new book, Gold in Your Backyard: Lessons in Life, Leadership and the Power of a Dream.
It is a book of rare wisdom and inspiration, shining a bright light on how to live your life to the fullest and how to help others all along the way.
Rubin is the owner of River Road Family Vineyards and Winery | Minister of Tea at The Republic of Tea.
In 2023, the Jewish Light reported when the Moishe House announced a new award named for Rubin.
Rubin has always been known as an innovator and an entrepreneur. As the Minister of Tea and Chief Executive Officer of The Republic of Tea, a company he purchased in 1994, Rubin and his wife Pam, now split time between their home in St. Louis and their River Road Family Vineyards and Winery in Sebastopol, Calif.
The Rubins are members of Congregation Shaare Emeth, where they helped renovate the synagogue library.
“Ronald and Pam Rubin were well-known for their philanthropic endeavors. The Hyman Rubin Library was a gift in memory of Ron’s father, who had served as president of his temple in Cairo, Illinois,” wrote Rabbi Jeffrey Stiffman in his book, “150 Years of Congregation Shaare Emeth.”
The Rubins have been a strong influence in the St. Louis Jewish community, making many creative programs possible, including the Rubin Israel Experience for young adults, and the Wexner Initiative for Jewish Community Leadership.
Ron Rubin is also the namesake of a new award from the international non-profit organization, Moishe House.
