Eli Rubenstein, attorney, philanthropist and good friend
After a four and a half year struggle with pancreatic cancer that was marked by amazing good humor and grace, Eli Rubenstein, 68, died at home on January 27, surrounded by his loving family.
In addition to his wife of 46 years, Emily Broner Rubenstein, a former social worker who spent the later part of her career as The Volunteer Coordinator of The Bridge: A School/Community partnership in Melrose, his survivors include his children Isaac and Michelle Rubenstein of Framingham and Abigail Rubenstein and Maxwell Bogue of New York City; grandsons Jesse Rubenstein and Charles Bogue; sister Beth Rubenstein of Los Angeles and her daughters Ashlyn and Hannah Rubenstein; sister-in-law Cynthia Broner of Cambridge and her children Maya and Justin Florence and Adam and Sydney Alperowicz; and sister-in-law Audrey Broner of Belmont. He is also survived by a large, loving extended family of cousins; many of whom considered him their uncle, all of whom considered him a friend. He was pre-deceased by his sister, Susan Rubenstein.
Eli was born in 1949 in Washington, DC and grew up in Silver Spring, MD. He shined at Montgomery Blair High School and went on to study at Columbia University where, in his sophomore year, a roommate fixed him up with his future bride, then a freshman at Barnard College. A month after he graduated magna cum laude with a dual major in economics and urban studies, they were married. That fall, he enrolled at New York University School of Law.
Eli spent his first three years after law school in the legal department at the real estate firm Cabot, Cabot & Forbes, after which he began his 40-year career at Goulston & Storrs. At G&S, he worked as a partner and director in the firm’s Boston and New York offices, applying his expertise in real estate development and financing strategies. When he joined, the firm had 16 lawyers; today, it has more than 200.
He was the gregarious patriarch of a large and loving family, who adored him for his warmth, wit, and joie de vivre.
He was a treasured friend to childhood pals and a large circle of people he met through his neighborhood, Temple Shalom, Belmont Country Club, and work – both colleagues and former adversaries won over by his skill and respect for the practice of law.
Eli loved a good dinner, many of which he cooked with great skill. He enjoyed hosting groups of family and friends. He also made a great martini and made sure that every child in his extended family could do the same as soon as they reached adulthood.
Having met in Manhattan, he and Emily spent time throughout their marriage in both Newton and New York, where they enjoyed walking around exploring the city’s many neighborhoods and attending the theater.
Traveling was also one of the couple’s passions. Eli’s travel for both business and pleasure took him to every continent besides Antarctica.
Following the deaths of his uncle, father and sister who all suffered from primary progressive multiple sclerosis, Eli knew that whatever course his life took, a substantial part of it would be dedicated to the movement to create a world free of MS. He served on the national board of directors of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society and spent three years as the board’s chairman. He also served for decades on the Greater New England Chapter board of trustees, with two terms as chapter chair.
He was honored with the National MS Society’s Lifetime Achievement Award and Norman Cohn MS Hope Award; he was inducted into the Society’s Volunteer Hall of Fame; and he twice received the New England Chapter’s MileStones in Leadership Award for his contribution to policy vision and fundraising for the society.
A strong believer that people have an obligation to “give back”, Eli also donated his time, talents, and generous support to several other worthy organizations, including Dimock Community Health Center, the American Jewish Committee, and Combined Jewish Philanthropies.
Funeral will be held at Temple Shalom of Newton, 175 Temple Street, Newton MA on Monday, January 29 at 11 am. Following interment at Sharon Memorial Park, the family will be sitting shiva at the Rubenstein residence until 8pm, and on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 1pm – 4pm and 7pm – 9pm.

67 years of age. Editor and a Gift to all who knew her
Susan passed away on January 13, 2018 after a 5-year bout with ALS. Known to her friends and family as one of the funniest people they knew, even in her final days, Susan uttered quick-witted one-liners which would make even the dourest among us laugh out loud. With her humor came eternal optimism, unflagging energy, emotional intelligence, and clarity. For over 40 years, Susan worked in publishing as an editor and manager at Inc., Moment, CFO, and in her final years, New England Home. She was known for her observant eye, crisp stylistic touch, and lighthearted and wise management style.
From 1989 she was on the Board of Directors at Women’s Lunch Place and worked in the kitchen regularly until her illness made it difficult to continue preparing meals for women in need. Susan spent years as a gabbai at Harvard Hillel Worship Study Minyan, helping to run the services. She and her husband, Paul Schaffrath, enjoyed travelling to such destinations as Paris, Israel, and home-away-from-home, P’town, to name a few. Describing her life would be perilously incomplete, without mentioning “Bruce”. Susan revered Bruce Springsteen, going to upwards of 40 concerts in the U.S. and abroad. In her final years, she received backstage passes, resulting in beloved photographs of Susan with members of the band.
Susan earned her B.A in English Literature at NYU, later receiving Certification to be a Montessori teacher in Vermont. After moving to Boston in 1979, she met the love of her life, Paul, an Art Director at United Marine Publishing. Susan and Paul went on to work together at Inc. magazine for several years. Through highs and lows, and through these final years, Paul has been by her side night and day. They wouldn’t have had it any other way. Susan is pre-deceased by her loving parents, Wilmer (Yonnie) and Clara Kron, of Philadelphia, where Susan grew up. She is survived by her husband Paul, her children (Sara Greene and Megan Peterson) and grandchildren (Lars Peterson, Gigi Greene, and Leif Peterson). Susan is also survived by her loving brother, Dr. Lawrence Kron, who moved to Boston a few blocks away to help care for her, and her sister, Gail (Mark) Saifer of Philadelphia, as well as cousins, nieces and nephews, all of whom have been forever present and caring throughout her life. Also, in these final years, she was blessed to have compassionate caregivers, who lovingly became the fabric of her daily life. Lastly, SO many friends, more than most of us would have in five lifetimes combined. Her friendship was a gift to us all, and over these last 5 years, she taught us how to consciously enjoy and appreciate every moment our lives.
