Rabbi Levi is a spiritual advisor with a point of view:situated in Malibu, his "shul" has an unobstructed view of the beautiful Pacific Ocean. Rabbi Levi is a mirror image of his famous creative community (in fact, his logo sports a traditional rabbi "hanging five" on a surfboard). Rabbi Levi, in addition to being born under the astrological sign of Aries, is endowed with a spirited personality. Among other things, he gains inspiration from Talmud and Kabbalah; he takes delight in sharing Judaism and the Rebbe's teachings with his equally spirited community. Rabbi Levi offers ongoing adult education classes and an individual studies program, while his wife Sarah directs Gan Malibu pre-school. He has traveled the globe on behalf of Chabad and still plays a pivotal role in Chabad West Coast Headquarters. They are blessed with three children.
