Meet the Niasoffs

 

 

Rabbi Mendel & Chavi Niasoff

 

Rabbi Mendel Niasoff grew up in the heart of Crown Heights, Brooklyn — surrounded by the vibrant spirit of Chabad life. After attending Jewish day school in Brooklyn, he continued his studies abroad at Yeshiva in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and later volunteered in Miami at a local Jewish high school. He received his rabbinical ordination from the Yeshiva Gedola of Smicha L’Rabanus in Pretoria, South Africa. Before moving to Port Orange, Rabbi Mendel spent three years teaching in Brooklyn, sharing his passion for Torah learning and Jewish education.

Chavi grew up on Shlichus in nearby Ormond Beach, where she experienced firsthand the warmth, joy, and dedication of Jewish community life. After graduating from Rohr Bais Chaya Academy in Tamarac, FL, she spent a year studying in Tzfat, Israel — deepening her knowledge and love for Judaism and inspiring others with her enthusiasm and kindness.

Together, Rabbi Mendel and Chavi are blessed with four wonderful children — Batsheva, Shua, JJ, and Rose — who bring endless energy and smiles to the Chabad House.

 

Our Mission

 

With the guidance and inspiration of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, our move to Port Orange was driven by one simple belief: every Jew deserves a place to call home.
Our mission is to connect with every Jew — regardless of background, affiliation, or level of observance — and to create a warm, welcoming environment where everyone feels that they belong. Through meaningful learning, joyful celebration, and acts of kindness, we strive to strengthen Jewish pride, unity, and connection.

At Chabad of Port Orange, no Jew is ever alone .
