Rabbi Gavriel Jacknin
   
​Rabbi Jacknin, more affectionately known as Rabbi J was born on Long Island, New York (Originally a Mets fan) and lived in Queens for most of his youth.    A graduate of SUNY Binghamton, Rabbi J has a Bachelors of Science in Marketing and Management.   During his college years, Rabbi Jacknin developed a passion and love for Judaism which led him to study for many years in various Yeshivas including Aish, Shar Yashuv and the Mirrer.  Eventually, this love for Judaism led Rabbi J to his Rabbinic ordination from Rabbi Zalman Nechemia Goldberg of Jerusalem to fulfill his mission of spreading the 'Joy of Judaism.' 
 

​In October 2010, Rabbi J & his wife Michal founded the Bellaire Jewish Center.  A Jewish center to spread the joy of Judaism through outstanding programming, inspiring & informative classes, meaningful services & AWESOME parties.   Besides learning and teaching Torah, Rabbi Jacknin enjoys tennis, softball,  jogging (Ran NYC marathon at age 20), all people, and a good cup of iced coffee.  Call or email Rabbi J anytime to set up an appointment to meet, study or shmooze about anything.
His contact information is:  832-971-3781/rabbi@bjchouston.org.

Mrs. Michal Jacknin
   
​In addition to teaching,  planning and cooking for the BJC.....and of course a mother of five...Michal enjoys the outdoors, music and art.   Michal leads the popular BJC Challah Club which meets monthly, teaches a weekly class '48 Ways of Wisdom' and directs the children's programming.  She also leads a truly inspiring Women's Israel trip once a year which grows in number from year to year.  

​Michal would love to hear from you.
Her contact information is: 845-538-6128.  Email is michaljacknin@gmail.com.

​Rabbi Gavriel and his wife Michal feel blessed to have five children:  Yehuda, Eliyahu, Ashira,  Avraham and Emmy who all share in the BJC mission.  They would LOVE to have y'all over for a Shabbat :)
