One of America’s premier Jewish scholars in Torah and Jewish mysticism, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak (YY) Jacobson is one of the most popular speakers in the Jewish world today, lecturing to Jewish and non-Jewish audiences around the globe, and serving as teacher and mentor to thousands. 

  He is considered to be one of the most successful, passionate and mesmerizing communicators of Judaism today, culling his ideas from the entire spectrum of Jewish thought and making them relevant to contemporary audiences.

Rabbi YY Jacobson was the first rabbi ever to be invited by the Pentagon to deliver the religious keynote to the US military Chief of Chaplains and to the National Security Agency. At the conference he was hailed “The Jewish Billy Graham.”   In this very special episode, Yaakov got to sit down with Rabbi YY, live, in White Shul in front of hundreds of people, including a live Q&A at the end.   The night was magical and this conversation covers a wide range of topics.   Episode powered by: Cedar Media Studios & "Short Machshava on the Daf"   Cedar Media Studios is a creative agency specializing in the creation and successful execution of audio/visual communication strategies for top level influencers.
