Early life

Born in Tashkent, Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic in 1946, Lipskar was smuggled as a baby through the Soviet border to a Displaced person (DP) camp in Germany. On his passport, his country of birth is listed as Germany as this was where he was registered. Arriving in America in the early 1950s, Lipskar's family settled in Ontario, Canada.

Early rabbinical career

Lipskar was ordained as a Rabbi from the Lubavitch Yeshiva in Brooklyn in 1968. In 1969 he was hired as the principal of the Landow Yeshiva School in Miami Beach, Florida. He served as principal of its elementary school for a number of years.^[3]

Later rabbinical career

In 1982, Lipskar founded The Shul of Bal Harbour in Surfside, Florida and was its head Rabbi.^[4] He also founded (and is the director for) the Aleph Institute^[5] (a non-profit national humanitarian organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for both prisoners and military personnel and their families) and the Educational Academy for the Elderly (Kolel Tiferes Zkaynim Levi Yitschok),^[4] both based in Surfside. The Shul is based on the ideology of Chabad Lubavitch.
