ost weekday evenings
and Shabbat mornings,
Congregation B’nai Moshe
can count on Hyman Fox of West
Bloomfield and Zoli Rubin of
Walled Lake to help make a minyan.
This summer, as the two reach
the milestone of turning 100 years
old, B’nai Moshe has planned a
party for them on Sunday, Aug. 12.
The congregation will toast the cen-
tenarians with a full sit-down din-
ner, a one-man band, a slide- show
tribute and other surprises.
“We have a unique situation
here of having not one but two
dedicated congregants turning 100
in the same summer,” said Henry
Averbuch of Bloomfield Hills, who
organized the party with a few
other synagogue members. “We
wanted to recognize them and cel-
ebrate their lives and show appre-
ciation to these two men who have,
for years, been so dedicated to our
daily minyan.”
Rubin, who was born June 2,
1918, said, “I’m hoping I hear some
good dance music, like the kind I
danced to with my [late] wife Agi.”
When it comes to their longevity,
Rubin and Fox, who still both drive
themselves to shul, chalk it up to
luck, eating well, long, happy mar-
riages and staying involved in con-
gregational life. Over the decades,
they have seen many changes to the
Jewish community: the consolida-
tion of synagogues — Fox belonged
to Beth Achim and Adat Shalom
before joining B’nai Moshe — and
the inclusion of women in ritual

congregational life.
“I don’t mind the women [count-
ing] at minyan,” Rubin said.
“Sometimes I think they know more
than the men do.”
Fox, a retired accountant born
in Philadelphia Aug. 19, 1918, is a
World War II veteran who served in
France and Germany. He attributes
his long life to plain luck and good
genes.
“Maybe it is the fact that for 30
years my wife [Rose] and I stuck to
a vegetarian diet,” said Fox, a retired
accountant. “Nowadays, I eat meat
once in a while and I eat chicken.
Or maybe my luck of living this long
is in my genes, as my brothers lived
until their late 80s or early 90s.”
Fox spoke fondly of Rose, who
passed away in 2010 after 63 years
of marriage.
“We had a wonderful family life
and marriage,” he said. “We were
very compatible, and we did every-
thing well together, including argu-
ing.”
They had two children, Mayer
and their late son Aaron, who died
of cancer at age 26. Aaron had once
been a youth adviser at the now-
defunct Congregation Beth Aaron.
Mayer was an anti-aircraft fighter
in the Israeli Air Force. Mayer’s
daughter Eryn, named for Aaron,
just completed her second year of
medical school in Israel and will do
her residency in the U.S.
Now retired from his accounting
practice, Fox still lives on his own.
He says he has kept up with his
computer skills but admits “my cell
