YYJ is top rabbi alive today, period, end of story. It is also nice to see that there is hardly any booz on the table. This too is the influence of Rabbi J, who has taught that you don’t need to drink to get high. Chasidus and keeping it real with the halachos is high enough.

Mazel tov. You are an excellent speaker and I have been motivated by you. Rabbi Jacobson is one of 2 people that I have ever truly enjoyed listening to give over a mammar. Keep up the amazing work till 120.

Happy birthday rabbi
I know it’s your birthday but I’d like to bless you with the strength to go out of you comfort zone and really take the world by the horns. You have been gifted with an unreal talent and I’m sure you think you are helping where you are but you can and need to fly away into the world- talent does not last forever … the window is on its way down!!! Fly my child fly

mazal tov!!

To YYJ: Mazel tov on your reaching this most significant birthday and milestone. You have inspired others tirelessly, including those of all spectra of yiddishkeit from displaying such love and care to those at Bais Shmuel, to those who consult with you privately and to those who take advantage of your personal appearances and your shiurim on theyeshiva.net. May you continue with the chayus and vigor for many many years to come. Lastly, by your example and style you have inspired some to even inspire others.

RABBI JACOBSON ROCKS
