Shas Chairman Aryeh Deri said: "I received with great pain the bitter news of the passing of the rabbi's savior, Rabbi Pinchas Reuven, a man of great deeds, who worked with all his might to strengthen the Jewish people and stood behind the repentance rallies and mass gatherings, and his influence was evident in thousands of Jews who drew closer to their Father in Heaven.".
Rabbi Reuven zt"l was close to and respected by Maran Rabbeinu Ovadia Yosef zt"l, was honored to be one of the founders of the world of repentance in our generation, and worked with endless dedication to distributing holy books and strengthening faith in Israel.
I was privileged to know his work over many years. His passing is a great loss to the world of Torah and repentance. In my name and on behalf of the entire Shas movement, I send my condolences to the family. The place will comfort you among the other mourners of Zion and Jerusalem.""
