    dear rabbi jacobson. great speech. very very good but do you think the chaplains knew what “feh” means?

    keep up the great work

  • B&H

    Tremendous Kiddush Hashem…
    You can actually feel Moshiach coming…

    alei vihatzlach!!!

  • in augh

    Wow!

    By the way G-d created shabbos, not Moses.

    How about keynote speeker at the shluchim’s convention?

  • Gr8 speech

    I also sat here not being able to leave for a second…Unbelievable Speech!!

  • Zalman

    great speech. talented speaker.one comment. when speaking to a fremde audience you cant tell the Japaneese joke without some kind of disclaimer. same thing happened when Rabbi Jacobson told the same joke in front of Mayor Bloomberg. Itmade theMayor uncomfortable. all you need to say is something like “things of course have changed somemuch since then and Japan ….” whatever. butyou cant just let “to hell with the Japaneese” hang out there like that.

    keep up your great holy work. may you go from strength to strengthand from this kiddush hashem to many more.

  • my opinion

    i am surprised that for this there are only sesven comments while other stupidities and trivial matters get way in the 70-80’s.

    Hat’s off to you Reb Yossi, you did a superb and stupendous job. A tremendous KIDDUSH HASHEM and well executed….

    you are a true orator in lubavitch!

  • true!

    Kiddush Hashem with a touch of class!

    What can be better then that!

    keep it up!

  • Gershom

    yossi I think they really got you on the go!
    I wonder how you felt when He asked you to say a prayer for them?

  • please show the follow up video

    YOSSI – YOU ARE THE BEST!!!
    shortly after this historic presentation, YYJ was the keynote speaker at the Nshei Chabad Convention in Vermont. he first joked about how a Lubav audience is so much more critical. you can see it already in the comments. i would like to mention to the commentors that when you are speaking you do not get to re-read, delete and correct. YYJ is amazing!

    OK crownheights dot info – here’s the deal. now you gotta show us the Vermont keynote speech. he mentions this speech a lot and he is sooooo funny talking about the surrounding happenings. really, everyone has to see it and hear it.

  • Yarmulke

    because of the black background u can’t see his Yarmulke. looks like he’s not wearing one…..lol

  • i think ur best melamed in oholei torah

    i always believed he would 1 day be a personality,but never like this. wishing u success in all your endeavours

  • it-s there

    he keeps adjusting his yarmulke so you can tell it’s there. just at the beginning it’s hard to see it.

  • answer to Gershom

    i don’t know if this is still available for Gershom to get his answer – but it is in the Vermont presentation. all the questions like this are answsered. Yossi said that he when they asked him to Daven he started a private Tefila and i apologize i have to use my own words, but it went something like… OK Hashem, you can have my mouth, use it for to say whatever you want – the podium is yours!

    since hearing that from Yossi, every day when i Daven i think of what he said with the opening words of Shmone Esrai.
