His elder brother, Rabbi Yaakov Yisroel Zuber, once served as the Chief Rabbi of Stockholm. Later, he relocated to Boston where he tragically lost his life during a robbery.[3]

Rabbi Zuber along with his brother and two other rabbis formed the Meori Ohr publishing house (Boston) which was dedicated to republishing Jewish texts after the Holocaust[4]

Rabbi Zuber published two works during his lifetime. His first work Zichron Menachem (1971) is named after his father Menachem Mendal Zuber who was killed in a pogrom. The work is divided between novelle on Talmud Bavli and Yerushalmi, questions and answers and a long article on the laws of mourning. There is a small section of this work that was translated to English by Rabbi Aharon Shapiro phd the Rabbi of Anshe Chesed of Linden.[5] His second work is the Divrei Nosson.[6]
