About

Hi, I’m Gruven Reuven

Currently I’m living in the fringes of Galus, or so it seems. (Actually it’s Downingtown PA). I’m a 45 yr old father of 2 boys aged 9 & 2. By day I’m an Applications Development manager for a large website. (hint: TV shopping channel based in West Chester PA).

In my free time I enjoy studying Torah, Talmud & Tanya daily. I also study the Rambam daily as well. A side from my kids and my studies, I enjoy gadgets. Basically I’m a geek.

Before becoming a Chabadnik 7 years ago, I followed the Grateful Dead for the better part of  18 years. Traded my Ponytail for payoes, and my tye-dye T-shirts for a Black Fedora hat.

Well… aside from my other blogs which are more subject centric, I’d like this Blog to be about me. Lets see how that goes….

  1. So far, I am intrigued!

    Not coming from a religious family myself… I find it quite mystical to be designing and offering Judaic eCards through my Say It With eCards website.

    There must be a reason for this!

    I will admit… it has brought me closer to my ethnicity and it is fun to learn more about my heritage.

    Thanks for sharing!

  4. Gruven Reuven,

    Of all the words written about Ronen Levi Yitzchak Segal, yours were the most heartfelt and loving.
    May HaShem bless you and keep you.
