Yes, thanks Chana, I just listened to your interview of this French Chabad Rabbi , and I believe that my Jewish neshama was enriched. I feel there is a silver lining in contemporary life. Am Yisroel Chai. Sincerely, Cindy V . Reply

Rabbi YY Jacobson is the only "Jewish Therapist" that could reach me. I love his Yiddishkeit. I just love his spirit. We were born in the same year, but when MY Jewish Family escaped and hit Brooklyn soil, they became Agnostic Judaism shunners, striving to Fit In To Society. They taught me, a Patrilineal, Yiddish and like that peach pit that Rabbi Jacobson talks about, I still have that Pintele Yid that sparks up when he lectures. Reply

So much wisdom, and humbleness, and lack of pretense. Really inspiring. And educational. Reply

Thank you Chana and Rabbi YY that was such an inspiring interview. The message that resonated most with me is when Jacobson said the only way you will impact change in people is to the extent that you are able to impact change in yourself. So many wonderful chabad rebbe stories thank you 🙏 Reply

Chana, I'm not sure if this is the proper forum, but I want to tell you that I enjoy every interview I've watched, but THIS one.....was particularly incredible. Not only was Rabbi YY mesmerizing, but your questions were outstanding. Thank you for all you do. Reply
