Biography
Dworkin was born in 1901 in Rogachov, Belorussia. He emigrated to the United States in 1958.[3] He served as the Crown Heights Jewish community's chief rabbi until his passing in 1985.[4] Dworkin was succeeded in this role by Yehuda Kalmen Marlow.
While Dworkin was a Chabad Chassid, his rabbinic authority was sought by the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Menachem Mendel Schneerson.[5]
