30 Years of Partnership in Marriage.
Rabbi Simon Jacobson and Mrs. Shaindy Jacobson
Get a humorous, witty, and telling in-depth look into the married life of Chabad personalities, Simon and Shaindy Jacobson.
This hour-quick video is a brave new kind of unscripted, dynamic demonstration of what love and marriage can authentically look like. Singles will absolutely sense life with their future spouses in quite a new light. Couples can access re-seeing their marriage through the fantastically clear lens this all-star couple makes available.
This is live-action, no-frills, seminar-of-sorts on nurturing and supporting yourself, your partner, and your marriage partnership, no kidding. You’ll laugh with them, appreciate the enormously generous sharing, and storytelling of their real-life. You will especially take-home, and really get the wholehearted acceptance they have for one another.
Spend an hour with the Jacobson’s and you’ll wish it was 30 years too!

From personal experience I can tell you that Rabbi Simon Jacobson is one of the warmest and kindest people you will ever meet. He may appear as a maskil, aloof and detached. I admit, that was how I always thought of him. But then a personal crisis led me to his door, and I was quite suprised, if not shocked, at his graciousness, elegance and empathy. He gave me all the time i needed, listened patiently, with care, and gave me excellent advice. So I can testify that as great as his mind may be, his heart is greater. Enigma… Read more »
Such wonderful people. Seems like they worked hard for their marriage and Hashem rewarded them with great satisfaction.
VERY INSPIRING
and real. i really appreciated it. thank you for sharing.
Adorable sweet funny Couple.
amazing, really enjoyed
Loved watching this! Thank you to some of the most insightful and warm and genuinely caring people I have ever met. I almost didn’t feel worthy to get an inside glimpse into a marriage of people who I so deeply admire. The rabbi and Shaindy are equally tremendous in their talents and capabilities. Although the experience of a Shaindy’s challah might be just a bit better than the Toward a Meaningful Life read ;))
Rabbi Simon Jacobson is known for his brilliance and profound knowledge of Chassidus, with a unique ability to take the deepest concepts and present them in relevant terms. But this deeply personal and sensitive side of him has never, at least to my knowledge, really been seen. They say in the name of one of the Polish Rebbe’s that no one knows the true nature of a person except for G-d, and perhaps also one’s wife.

So much humanity and depth all rolled into one! Thanks for posting this. A true kiddush hashem. Finally, people not hiding behind smokescreens and crutches. Just expressing their very human, and very chassidic, souls.
We can all learn from this — time to integrate our Yiddishkeit into healthy and honest relationships. The true meaning of Achdus Hashem.
please explain and enlighten us!
Obviously, you can learn something …
At 30:10 Simon says”Men don’t have room for people outside of them… its not just a biological thing its a spiritual thing” is this true ?where is the source?
The love shines through K”A”H, despite the humor. Thank you for making yourselves vulnerable in order to help others!
Definitely coming to the JLI retreat next year – IF THE JACOBSONS DO THIS SORTA THING AGAIN.
For a discussion about marriage, love and friendship led by a couple – the husband and wife are standing very far apart
To the organizers: It would have been more fitting for both to be standing equal (not the woman behind/protected by the podium). They could have been seated on a stool or sofa
Very funny and inspiring!
Why can I not press play??
Very nice! Got some good laughs !
Definitely a couple to learn from inside and out! Happy anniversary Simon and Sheinke! Many many more happy hand healthy years together. Nachas from your children and grandchildren. Moshiach now!
