Ranked amongst the leading Torah scholars of the generation, R. Reuven HaLevi was regularly summoned to meetings alongside R. Yitzchak Elchanan, and his opinion on current matters was weighed with serious consideration by all Lithuanian rabbis. In 1879, he was appointed by Lithuanian Torah leaders as one of the three rabbis who would advise on matters of religion and Halacha at the rabbinical convention in St. Petersburg (together with R. Lipa of Mir and R. Eliyahu Eliezer of Vilna). A portion of R. Reuven’s writings was published entitled “Rosh LaReuveni.”
