It's official. Jacob has evolved to his next, perfect, inevitable form: Cool Hebrew School Teacher Your Bubbe Calls A "Handsome Young Man." This was fantastic. Take care, y'all.

When the day comes that one of your videos doesn't make me feel Something very very deep in my chest I don't know what I'm going to do with myself. Absolutely fantastic work as always

Definitely had forgotten that I had read The Golem and the Jinni by Helene Wecker. But your storytelling definitely opened that old chest. I really enjoyed it, from what I remember, but I also put away Magical Realism because it was too closely tied to a former marriage. Anyway, absolute beast of a video. Fascinating as always.

this one spoke to me. your ability to tie in media from all corners of life is always amazing, but having it center around judaism made it all the more special. you put so much care and emotion into your videos, and it never shows more than in videos like this. hope you’re having a nice pesach! best, a fellow NC jew 🤠
