R' Israel Itshakov provides guidance and assistance to thousands of kids and young adults in every aspect of their lives. R' Israel is the main Rabbi in the Youth Minyan of Beth Gavriel which is a Beit Knesset, Beit Midrash, community center, and a second home to thousands of Jews. The youth Minyan at Beth Gavriel has grown tremendously over the last 25 years under R' Israel's leadership. He has been involved in Keruv in the community for the past 25 years, successfully guiding the community towards Torah observance. R' Israel is uniquely positioned to effect changes throughout the Bukharian community because of his large following and continuous dedication to Torah values. He has lectured on a variety of topics including but not limited to dating, marriage, children’s education, honoring parents, modesty, learning Torah, etc... He serves as a role model for thousands of people in our community by being a good husband and devoted father of 6 children. Anyone who knows R' Israel can testify that he sacrifices his time, gives his attention, shows his love, and puts his heart and soul into the community and the people who need him. The community is like a large family and R' Israel is the glue that holds it together. His commitment to elevating the status of the people in the community is unmatched. R' Israel sets a shining example of a Torah scholar, devoted family man, and compassionate leader to every soul that is blessed to meet him.
For the past decade besides the work in the community, R' Israel has set his own mission: To teach all the Jews in the world to learn to pray in the Hebrew language. His slogan is, "Say it Right Read it Right" after publishing the "Tehillim Ben Israel", "Megilah", "Hagaddah Shel Pesach", "Birkat-Hamazon", "Kiddush for Shabbat and Holidays" and many others. Currently, R' Israel is spearheading the initiation of the Chief Bukharian Rabbinate of the USA and Canada which will oversee all aspects of communal Judaic Life.
