For over 14 years, Rabbi Jacobson, as Editor-in-Chief of VHH, was  responsible for publishing the talks of Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson,  the Lubavitcher Rebbe. Beginning in 1980, he headed a team of scholars  that memorized and transcribed entire talks that the Rebbe gave during  the Sabbath and holidays, as writing and tape recording is not  permitted on holy days. In this position, Rabbi Jacobson was  privileged to work in close association with the Rebbe and published  more than 1000 of the Rebbes talks.    Deeply rooted in the teachings of Judaism, Simon Jacobsons voice  is cutting-edge and unique. He cuts through cliches and confusion to  provide clarity of vision that is inspiring and universal.
