Reb Betzalel Jacobson, if the world would be like him moshiach would be here a long time ago, he was a devout, pious, righteous, compassionate, a devoted husband and father and grandfather, and the whole family loved him dearly everybody felt very touched by him he would love to tell chasidishe story to who ever he met, may he be a “melitz yosher for klal yisroel”

Rabbi Besalel Jacobson restored purpose in my life and brought me so much joy as I helped him with his various needs I feel such a loss as I watched the heroic efforts by Hatzolah to save him I ask everyone to pray for his wife and family; Louis Miller CNA

Hamakom yenachem eschem b’soch sha’ar availay Tzion v’Yerushalayim. We are all so heartbroken to hear of the loss of your dear husband, father and grandfather. He was a true Chassid, Yira Shamayim and a real Lamdin. The most kindhearted, gentle, generous and caring person. May his memory and legacy be a source of strength, guidance and comfort to all of you. May Hashem give you all strength and the means to continue all his good work and wishes. It is without question that Betzalel will be a maylitz yosher for his wonderful wife and mishpacha.

We are broken hearted of the loss of our dear brother-in-law Betzalel. He was a true Chassid, kind hearted and caring person. He honored his in-laws and learned torah le’shma. He had superb character, a humble man. He will sorely be missed. Hamakom yenachem eschem b’soch sha’ar availay Tzion v’Yerushalayim.

Mrs. Jacobson is such a kind hearted woman with very good hearted children. Her son, the singer, once came with all his equipment to sing for my father who was not well. He refused to get compensated for his coming. They are amazing!
