Hovevei Zion

movement.

His generosity began at age twenty when he and his friend purchased a

Rishon Le Zion from Tzvi Leventine. Ten families set up the village and Reuven sent money to get the group of pioneers he had met in Smyrna so that they could purchase passage to Palestine. The migrations at this time to Palestine are known as The First Aliya

.

Reuven was considered to be one of the more liberal members of the community and supported the young

Rishon Le Zion. His firstborn, Morris Youdelevitz Young

, was a notable doctor in Persia.

It is believed that he also participated in the building of Tel Aviv where he moved in 1927. He died in 1933 and was buried in Tel Aviv.
