Rubin to speak Thursday

David Rubin, former Mayor of Shiloh, Israel, and victim of terrorism, is scheduled to speak at 7 p.m. Thursday at Evangelistic Temple in Palestine. His topic is “On the Front Lines in the Biblical Heartland.”

In 2001, while driving in his car with his 3-year-old son Ruby, he and his son were brutally attacked by terrorists. As a result of the devastating trauma that he and his son experienced, Rubin worked with friends of Israel in the United States to establish the Shiloh Israel Children's Fund. The Fund supports therapeutic, educational, and recreational projects for children, particularly those in the Shiloh bloc of communities where the children have suffered for years from rampant terrorism.
