While there, he learned with [Rabbi Avrohom Kanarek](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rabbi_Avrohom_Kanarek&action=edit&redlink=1) and [Rabbi Shia Grodzitski](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rabbi_Shia_Grodzitski&action=edit&redlink=1), both students of Rabbi [Boruch Ber Leibowitz](/source/Boruch_Ber_Leibowitz), the dean of the pre-World War II rabbinical seminary, which was known as Kaminetz.

## Career

In 1988 Rabbi Luban moved with his family to [Jerusalem, Israel](/source/Jerusalem%2C_Israel), where he took a position as a teacher at [Yeshiva Chofetz Chaim-Israel Branch](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Yeshiva_Chofetz_Chaim-Israel_Branch&action=edit&redlink=1), his former school. He worked in conjunction with both Rabbi Kanarek and [Rabbi Dovid Chait](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rabbi_Dovid_Chait&action=edit&redlink=1) encouraging his students to grow in both Torah and [Mussar](/source/Musar_literature).[4] While there he incorporated the concept of a [Mussar Vaad](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mussar_Vaad&action=edit&redlink=1)- an approach to help students deal with life's challenges. In the fall of 2000 Rabbi Luban was offered a position as Rosh Yeshiva of RSA's affiliate in [North Miami Beach.](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=North_Miami_Beach.&action=edit&redlink=1) After getting a blessing of success from Rabbi Leibowitz, he moved to Florida to assume the position. Under his auspices, the student body at the [Bais Medrash](/source/Bais_Medrash) level more than tripled.

Rabbi Luban began publishing his original Talmud ideas while a student at RSA. Since then, he has published works on at least eight tractates of the [Talmud](/source/Talmud). Some have been published in several editions, as he is continuously expanding and revising those works. The name of his work is Biurim Veiyunim.
