Rabbi Chaikin was born in the Georgian Soviet Socialist Republic in 1931, where his father, Meir Chaim Chaikin, had served as an emmisary of the sixth Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn.[2]
Rabbi Azriel Chaikin was born to Rabbi Meir Haim (he was a Gulag prisoner, after their departure from Russia in 1946 he moved to Sweden, where he served as Rabbi of the High Court in Stockholm, later he was the head of the Beit Din in Montreal, Canada).
In 1955, Chaikin went on shlichus to Morocco and was the head of the Chabad Yeshiva in Agadir. Because the language taught in the schools under his auspices was Hebrew, he was accused of being a Zionist, and therefore left Morocco and moved to France. From France he moved to Denmark where he established a Chabad yeshiva.
In 1968, Rabbi Chaikin was offered a prestigious rabbinic position in Brussels, Belgium which he accepted. Because of this position he became an influential rabbinic figure in Europe.
He later on received the position of chief Rabbi of Ukraine which he maintained until 2008.[3] he asked Rabbi Jonathan Markovitch to take his position. Afterwards he moved to the Crown Heights area of Brooklyn.
