Rabbi Yossi and Chayale Labkovski with their daughter Mussia

Meet the Labkovski’s

Rabbi Yossi and Chayale Labkovski, together with their daughter Mussia, are excited to call Clarence home!

Yossi grew up in Amherst, NY, where his parents founded the Center for Jewish Life. From a young age, he loved helping out, meeting Jewish families, and being part of the community.

Chayale grew up in Toronto, where her parents run a Jewish center serving Russian-speaking Jews. She loves teaching Hebrew School, organizing teen programs, and helping others connect to their Jewish roots.

Now, together, we’re excited to bring that same warmth and love of community to Clarence.

The Center for Jewish Life of Clarence

The Center for Jewish Life of Clarence is a place where Jewish families and individuals can come together, celebrate, learn, pray, and connect.

Whether you’re looking for a Shabbat dinner, Torah class, children’s program, holiday celebration, or simply someone to call when you need a Jewish connection, we’re here for you.
