Gavriel Davidov (1934-2020) was a lawyer who devoted his life to the noble goals of sowing the seeds of good and tirelessly extending a helping hand to all those in need of his assistance. Having lived for almost half a century in New York, having quickly achieved a stable financial situation, he invested tremendous efforts in the development of the religious life of the Bukharian community, and achieved tremendous success.

His indomitable energy and initiative played a significant role in the fact that there are about 35 Bukharian synagogues uniting many thousands of believers. It is in these places that a huge number of young people found their personal happiness, creating wonderful loving families and developing strong homes. Not a single large-scale charitable event had gone without the active participation of Gavriel, who, by his personal example, attracted masses of people to raise funds for the implementation of various social programs. He played a big role in the creation of two yeshivas, where almost one and a half thousand learners, ranging from primary to high school students, study today.

He was one of the authors of the concept and an active contributor to the implementation and construction of the Bukharian Center on 71st Avenue, as well as the reconstruction of the Beth Gavriel Synagogue on 108th Street in Forest Hills.
