Join the Global Quest: One Million Mitzvahs for Rabbi Lipskar's Legacy!

Bal Harbour, FL, USA - In a heartfelt tribute to the late Rabbi Sholom D. Lipskar, a global mitzvah campaign is being launched to commemorate the shloshim—30 days since his passing. This inspiring initiative aims to achieve a remarkable goal: one million mitzvahs in memory of a man whose life’s mission was dedicated to spreading love for Torah and mitzvahs, serving his community for over 40 years as the beloved rabbi of The Shul of Bal Harbour.

Rabbi Lipskar, who passed away on May 3, 2025, was more than just a spiritual leader; he was a devoted emissary of the Lubavitcher Rebbe and the visionary founder of the Aleph Institute. Through this organization, he made an indelible impact on overlooked populations, including prisoners and military service members, providing them with compassion and hope. His life was marked by principles such as „Lechatchila Ariber“—to rise above obstacles—and “Get it done.” These guiding maxims continue to resonate and inspire acts of kindness and resilience.

A Collective Journey of Kindness

The campaign invites individuals from all walks of life to participate by performing suggested mitzvahs that reflect Rabbi Lipskar’s values. Activities such as wrapping tefillin, lighting Shabbat candles, giving tzedakah, reaching out to those in need, and performing acts of kindness are all encouraged. Each act is a tribute to the late rabbi, symbolizing the transformative power of even one small mitzvah. Participants can join this spiritually uplifting journey by visiting rabbilipskar.org, where they can add their mitzvah to the growing list and motivate others to do the same.

As the community rallies around this shared goal, it truly reflects Rabbi Lipskar’s belief in the collective impact individuals can have when they come together to sow seeds of kindness. In a world where individuals often feel isolated, this campaign serves as a reminder that no one is alone or forgotten.

Leaving a Lasting Legacy

Rabbi Lipskar’s life and work were dedicated to instilling a love for Torah and mitzvahs in those around him. His legacy is not just seen in the institutions he built, like the Aleph Institute, but also in the countless lives he touched over the years. He demonstrated that even small gestures could lead to monumental changes in individuals and communities alike.

The call to action is more than a mere campaign; it’s an invitation to honor a legacy—one that champions resilience, kindness, and unwavering faith in the human spirit. As we participate in this mitzvah campaign, we help carry forward the rich tapestry of Rabbi Lipskar’s life and teachings, ensuring they continue to guide and inspire future generations.

So, whether it’s lighting a candle or helping someone in need, your contribution counts. Who knows? Your simple act of kindness may spark a wave of compassion, just like Rabbi Lipskar envisioned. Let’s come together and make this campaign a resounding success! After all, as Rabbi Lipskar showed us, there’s something to be said for the profound impact of one small act.
