Ep. 52: When I Discovered the Reality That Was Always There with Rabbi Simon Jacobson

In this episode, which took place at the New York–New England Regional Kinus Hashluchim, Rabbi Simon Jacobson shares the story about his grandfather’s connection to Lubavitch through the Rebbe Rashab, his father Rabbi Gershon Ber Jacobson’s work with the Rebbe and the founding of the Algemeiner Journal, and his own years by the Rebbe as a chozer.

Rabbi Jacobson reflects on growing up in Crown Heights, discovering Chassidus as a living force, and the unique responsibility of reviewing and recording the Rebbe’s farbrengens.

A fascinating conversation about journalism, chazara, 770, the Rebbe’s vision for the world, and the urgency of Moshiach.
