Rabbi Levi Jacobson was born and raised in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York, the Rebbe's community. The eldest of eight children, he studied at Ohalei Torah in Brooklyn, Tomchei T'mimim in Israel, the Rabbinical College of America in Morristown, New Jersey, and the Central Lubavitch Yeshiva in Brooklyn. Throughout his studies, he received numerous awards for his outstanding academic and personal achievements.

Rabbi Jacobson received his rabbinical ordination and certification for ritual slaughter in 1996 from Rabbi Pinchas Hirshprung, the late Chief Rabbi of Montreal. Inspired by the Rebbe's example of serving others, he began delivering lectures and organizing Jewish programs at the age of sixteen. His outreach work has taken him to communities around the world, including Shanghai, Finland, South Africa, Greece, Italy, Thailand, and dozens of cities across North America.

Drawing on his extensive Torah scholarship—including completing the entire Talmud by the age of nineteen—and his passion for Jewish education, Rabbi Jacobson dedicated himself to sharing the richness of Judaism. After marrying Nechama Dina in 1997, he joined the JRCC in 1998 as Director of Adult Education, later founding JRCC West Thornhill and Gen J, the JRCC's young adult division.

Nechama Dina Jacobson (née Silberstein) was born in Montreal to children of Holocaust survivors from Romania, Poland, and Austria. She graduated from Beth Rivkah Academy and earned a degree in education from College Marie Victorin. She has worked with children in summer camps across Europe and North America and later taught in elementary, high school, and special education programs in Montreal and New York.

Since moving to Toronto in 1997, Nechama Dina has served the Jewish Russian community alongside her husband. She has taught at the JRCC Daycare, mentored countless community members, and plays a central role in the educational and community programming of JRCC West Thornhill.

Together, Rabbi Levi and Nechama Dina Jacobson continue to lead the vibrant JRCC West Thornhill community, providing educational, spiritual, and social programming while raising their family in Thornhill.
