Herb Chubin, of Rockville, Maryland, passed away on June 24, 2026. He was 90.

Herb was born in 1935 in Philadelphia to the late David and Esther Chubin. He earned a B.S. at Temple University and an M.B.A. in Accounting at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business. He passed the Pennsylvania CPA examination in 1962. An Army ROTC student at Temple, he went on to serve eight years in the active reserves.

During his career he worked in auditing and CFO positions for companies including KPMG, Anthony & Sylvan Pools, and Keystone Motors, as well as for the Trenton, NJ public schools. He also served as an adjunct accounting professor at various colleges, including Northern Virginia Community College.

Herb was married to his late wife Selma for 61 years. They lived in Yardley, Pennsylvania, and were active members of Shir Ami in Newtown, where Herb served on the board, and founding members of Congregation Kol Emet in Yardley. In 2011, they moved to Bethesda, Maryland, to be closer to their two grandchildren. In 2014, Herb and Selma became adult b'nai mitzvah at Congregation Beth El in Bethesda, and Herb greatly enjoyed being a part of their chavurah at Beth El over the last several years.

After Selma’s death in 2022, Herb moved to Ingleside at King Farm and was an active member of several resident-led interest groups. In May 2024, Herb traveled with a Beth El group to Israel to volunteer and bear witness to the aftermath of the Hamas atrocities on October 7th.

Herb is survived by his two daughters, Marlene Chubin and Ellen Chubin Epstein; son-in-law, David Epstein; and beloved grandchildren, Max and Abigail Epstein.
