He later moved with his wife to Eretz Yisrael, where he learned b’chavrusa with the rosh yeshiva of Ohr Torah, Rav Aharon Rubinstein. Over time, he built a close relationship with Rav Rubinstein, the rebbetzin, and their family—so much so that his children lovingly referred to the rebbetzin as “Bubby Rubinstein.”\u003cbr\u003e\r\nDuring his time in Eretz Yisrael, he also had the zechus to learn the halachos presented in Down to Earth with Reb Akiva Zitter, a chashuve talmid chacham and true eved Hashem. That limud laid the foundation for both this sefer and a friendship that remains strong to this day.\u003cbr\u003e\r\nThe author currently resides in North Miami Beach with his family. Though he walks the path of Zevulun, his heart and soul and everyday activities remain anchored in the world of Yissachar.\u003cbr\u003e\r\nRabbi Levitan can be contacted at question@downtoearthhalachos.com. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-specs\" style=\"margin-top:20px\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin-bottom:10px\"\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"border-collapse:collapse;width:100%;max-width:520px\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:6px 12px;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eField\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px 12px;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eValue\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:6px 12px;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px 12px;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eRabbi Rafi Levitan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:6px 12px;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003ePublisher\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px 12px;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eFeldheim Publishers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:6px 12px;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eISBN\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px 12px;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003e9798897670185\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:6px 12px;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eCategory\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px 12px;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eHalacha And Mitzvos\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:6px 12px;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eLanguage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px 12px;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eEnglish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Feldheim","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55446007775400,"sku":"DTEH","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0534\/9765\/9560\/files\/unnamed_931ba49c-1958-401b-a86d-d216d7c71a58.jpg?v=1776605247","url":"https:\/\/judaicasquare.com\/products\/down-to-earth-halachos","provider":"Judaica Square","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
