Rabbi Yitzchok and Nina Naparstek launched Chabad of Oakland Park East in the summer of 2026. Together with their children, Batya, Mushka, Menashe, and Aharon, they are dedicated to creating a warm and welcoming community through meaningful programming, personal care, and genuine connection.
Since 2006, Rabbi Yitzchok and Nina have been actively building Jewish community throughout the Fort Lauderdale area. They have provided enriching educational opportunities for adults through JLI courses, classes, discussion groups, and thoughtfully curated lectures, while also fostering lifelong Jewish learning for the next generation. Shalom Preschool offers a nurturing, boutique early childhood experience, and Grow Hebrew School provides dynamic, hands-on Jewish education for elementary-aged children.
Through holiday celebrations, social events, educational programs, and community initiatives, their mission has always been to strengthen Jewish life and create meaningful Jewish connections throughout the community.
