Shalom Rabbi,
I agree with the others that you are an excellent and inspiring teacher. So much so that I want to hear more and more of your shiurim.
But
1) Your talks are not well focused. For example, your current shiur is about overcoming fear, yet 28 minutes into the shiur you have yet to broach the topic.
My time is limited. Could you please focus.
2) Although speakers use more words than do writer's to convey the same thought, I think your talk could use editing down for in your wordiness you lose my attention as a listener.
Respectfully given,
Stuart Leviton

Thank You for the Timely Pesach - Corona Lecture
Thank you for the woderful Shiur. We are experiencing an era where the health challenges and dangers leave the government, science, and the people we would normally seek advice from, utterly clueless. The vacuum of silent or flailing leadership is startling.
We are rapidly realizing who is in charge - that the Almighty can redircet a microscopic microbe and the mightiest of goverments and the most powerful of people are literally and figuratively brought to their knees.
The obvious knee jerk reaction is either to combat this issue through denial (which unfortunately has proven to be lethal ) or to despair.
Your lecture suggests that we move beyond the knee jerk reactions and recognize that once we come to real terms with the fact that that the Almighty is (for reasons we don't understand) the force that is showing us that just one microbe can change the world we can channel our energy and leverage it as an opportunity for personal growth.
To be sure, rechanneling that energy takes the ability to confront our personal challenges head on, to recognize that oftentimes it is neccesary to see the positive where those around us are consumed by, or singularly focused on the negative, but it can be done and in fact may be a central theme of Pesach, ther Seder and the Haggadah.

Dear Rabbi Jacobson.
My wife and I just watched your amazing talk with my two adult sons who with Hashem’s help will find their way back to Torah and Mitzvos. We were all so inspired. It was wonderful. Yasher Koach. IY”H we should all greet Moshiach immediately.
Stay healthy.
Chag Kasher Ve Samayach.

Phenomenal
Dear Rabbi Jacobson,
Wow. Your passion was contagious. Your words came from deep with your heart, and reached our hearts. Words fail to adequately express the beauty and poignancy of your talk. You succeeded in inspiring us. You succeeded in giving us direction. You challenged us to make this period of time valuable and meaningful. To become better people. To take a good, hard look, at the meaning of our lives, individually. You touched us and asked us to touch others. You asked us to find leadership within ourselves and to ask G-d to show us what He wants us to do with our strength. I thank you, Rabbi Jacobson. I have been listening to shiurim frequently lately. They all have a message to impart. Your fiery and genuine, sincere passion joined our hearts together with yours. We are stronger, having listened to you this evening.
May Hashem fulfill all the beautiful brochos you uttered, and may Hashem bless you with good health, strength, wisdom, insight and continued hatzlocha, to stand in front of us as we march toward the Bais Hamigdash, speedily in our days.
With profound appreciation,
Rifka Saltz
