Rubashkin family

The Rubashkin family (Yiddish: רובאַשקין) is a family of American Hasidic Jews of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement of Brooklyn, New York, headed by Aaron Rubashkin. Members of the family were or are active in various family businesses, most of them in the family's main business, kosher meat, for which they earned the title "kosher meat dynasty". The tight-knit family has been influential in its local area and is well known among religious Jews for its generosity towards Jews and Jewish causes.

Some of the family's activities have been controversial, and a few of its members have been the subject of legal investigations and convictions.
