Rabbi YY Jacobson, one of the most sought-after speaking in the Jewish world, recently embarked on an Australian and South African speaking tour with stops in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Johannesburg.
In the midst of his whirlwind schedule in Melbourne, Rabbi Jacobson made the time to farbreng with the teachers and students at the Rabbinical College of Australia & NZ (YG – Melbourne).
The Farbrengen which included nigginum, stories and words of inspiration was organized thanks to Rabbi Moshe Kahn of Chabad Youth and the YG Shluchim.
At the Farbrengen’s conclusion, the bochurim expressed their appreciation to the articulate rabbi of Congregation Beis Shmuel in Crown Heights with a unique surprise.
As some might know, Rabbi Jacobson merited to serve as one of the oral scribes (“choizrim”) who reviewed the Rebbe‘s lengthy discourses in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s.
The bochurim got a hold of a video where Rabbi Jacobson, nearly 25 years old, in seen passionately reviewing the talk by the Rebbe’s talks the benefit of the assembled Chassidim in 770 Eastern Parkway.
Rabbi Jacobson had never seen the video before, and he was visibly moved, COLlive was told.
