I'm Rabbi Fishel Jacobs. And, I am delighted to welcome you to my online home!

Here, you'll find a wealth of resources, insights and, hopefully, inspiration grounded in my extensive background, writings and public work. Whether you're seeking information, learning opportunities, or ways to connect with our vibrant community, you've come to the right place.

Let's move things to the next level!

About Me

I'm a passionate advocate for Jewish education, moral clarity and spiritual empowerment.

With over three decades of experience in public roles, I've dedicated my life to publishing, guiding, and uplifting individuals and communities.

I hold a BA from the University of Vermont, a black belt in karate, rabbinical ordination from the head rabbinate of Israel, and a law degree.

I've published eight non-fiction books. And I'm the responding rabbi for numerous popular websites on difficult areas of practical Talmudic law.

And I have served in various capacities, from campus chaplain, maximum security prison chaplain, and lecturer.

My approach is rooted in authentic Jewish teachings, combined with a deep understanding of contemporary challenges and opportunities.

Join me as we explore the rich tapestry of life and learning, and let's build a brighter future together.
