So impressed by Yaakov! My son from UK was learning in Yeshiva in Monsey 2years ago and met Yaakov on a bus on the way to Lakewood and said hi and heard some of his story. At the time he told about him and his fascinating conversation. So happy to hear he got married and to hear this amazing story! Thank you for another fantastic video!
We laughed and cried and were uplifted and awed by Yaakov Cruz's journey, positivity and perseverance. A winner podcast!
It was amazing hearing Yaakov’s full story. We had the honor of hosting him and his then- Kallah for Shabbos after Pesach. We had such an enjoyable and inspiring Shabbos!
Mazal Tov to you and Aviva!!!

I LOVED this episode!! I'm a long-time BT, so I especially love getting my BT battery recharged!! And, by the way...I LOVED Momo's description of how dear a minhag is to Hashem.......almost wanna say "Rabbi Momo"!
This was an absolute awesome video; I only wish u had talked w Yaakov Cruz more about his life's story - especially on his shidduch experience and how he met his wife.
And yes, I am aware that this was one of your longer videos but he was so engaging and fascinating, his telling of his life was so very mesmerizing and such a joy to listen to. I feel I could listen to him all day as he regales upon his life experiences; he truly has been thru some wild nisyonos in his life, but his ability to tell about what he has done and seen and his search for his true identity - with every experience he has gone thru, he is always recognizing how it all comes from HaShem/the Aibeshter and he is emphatically expresses his Gratitude to whomever has ever helped him along in his Life Journey.
Gratitude is an attribute that is so important to have in one's Life as a life of recognizing Gratitude helps one realize that we are not in charge of ourselves. We do have control within ourselves even while HaShem is in Charge of the World we all live in.
A truly remarkable man w so much still to share in his life that he has already experienced but so much more ahead of him.
Blessings, love and prayers for all, from Israel 🇮🇱.
I was sad for this episode to end. Incredible journey, incredible story, incredible person!!
Wow, what an inspiring story. Thanks for attaching that video. So cool to see.
Wow! He brings out the essence of my life as well.
I've always been asked how am I religious after what I've been through. Most people go the opposite direction.
It's Emunah and Bitschon.
I grew up religious but half my siblings aren't
Wow, wow, wow!! So inspiring!!
This was such a real story! Quite the journey.
That was really inspiring!! Thank you so much!
So inspiring! Thank you Yaakov for this!
Glad you enjoyed it!
So excited to see your interview with Yaakov. He has davened in my house a few times inLakewood with Eitan
This was awesome! What a fascinating story and he is so straight! Wow wow wow!
Love that he is still growing and living the life that is true to who he is! A lot of geirim and BT try to fit the mold by looking like someone that they are not and in that process, they can loose the energy and charisma that brought them the inspiration to change their lives.
Wow this episode was such a good one!!!
He’s definitely has a great wife!!!
Amazing! I am blown away, this was beautiful to watch, hi to his wifey ;)
Wow! everyone needs to listen to this!
Wow! Great episode! Loved seeing the continuation of the story from Oorah documentary
Awesome!!!!! This was the most inspiring episode ever!!!!
Wow so inspirational, we loved this episode it was a very interesting coop story 😂❤
Amazing episode, thank you!!
I love meaningful people!
Wow. I sat next to him during shachris shabbos sheva brochos. Little did I know I was sitting next to greatness.
Yakov you are awesome
This episode was total fire! Inhaled it! So so inspiring! I got goosebumps when he was talking about his tefillin and how he uses his first pair to help others. So much respect for this guy🤍.
The story of Yaakov Cruz really had an impact on me. His reminder to always "dan L'chaf zchus" is so timely-and his gratitude and lack of bitterness is so refreshing. I listened to the podcast twice and then I just had to turn to UA-cam to watch it. Still don't quite get the "family tree"-but so what. P.S. I saw a sign on a telephone pole here in Baltimore on Park Heights that had 2 words with a red heart in-between them. BE (heart) KIND. Did you have anything to do with that? And I await a new word from MoMo next week.
This ought to be the best segment so far
Amazing story! Just watched R Lipskar's/Aleph Institute episode which just made this more inspiring to watch.
Amazing episode
WOW, when I listen to Abe Rotenberg's song of I am a country boy, I think of you!
Truly inspirational!
I believe Mayim Achronim is actually a Halacha 🤔😁✌️ That being said, amazing episode!!!
Shulchan Aruch Harav 181:1
"It is a mitzvah to wash before Grace as an expression of holiness, to sanctify oneself prior to blessing G‑d for [our] food, for hands that are soiled with the grime of food are unacceptable when reciting a blessing.
[Our Sages] added [a further measure . . . Sodomite salt which could cause blindness . . . if he would touch his eyes with his hands without washing them first, it would cause blindness."
You have the most fascinating guests!
Great listen!
So inspiring. Thank you.
What an inspirational dude!!
Insane episode! Really cool story! Keep it up!!
Wow what an inspiration you are totally blown away!!

Everyone has to Pekuach Nefesh. It is part of choosing. The Arkeida was there for that reason (as were all of the tests). Mazel Tov. Remember to be very, very careful with Yichud. Thank you for sharing your incredible journey. Keep Shtigging.
Wow!!!
Where's the link to the helicopter Drop? We wanna see that Helo!
Incredible!!!!
Mayim Achronim was instituted because eye harmful sedom salt may remain on the finder tips and we don't want them to impact the eyes.
However according to the Zohar we only use a drop of water since that drop will feed necessary spiritual energy to the negative side. However when the negative side does not receive its minimal energy to exist it is not good either, it has a purpose.
great vid very inspiring yaakov your great
Glad you enjoyed it!
wow! awesome story.
Omg grim cowboys sound so cool! I also have an interest in equestrianism. Any suggestions on how to learn while still being Jewish?
Frum* cowboys
Shout out to yossi ehrman, Danny lemberg and the rest of the Lakewood guys involved with ohr somayach's mentor's mission
love the cookies at the ohel
Pretty sure mayim acharonim is in kitzur.
Are his siblings Jewish or jew-ish? Did he ask his Rav if he should or should not meet his biological mother because one of the eseret dibrot may be involved.
❤❤
Heilig!
Mel Brooks was right in the movie "History of the world." Next... jews in space.

Kofifi is the greatest😂😂
Want to fill the rest of us in??
The need for glasses has nothing to do with reading small print since most need glasses for seeing distance.
It’s Hashem’s (God’s) way of telling us to not focus on the gashmius (materialism).
Take off your glasses so you can’t see what your neighbor just bought, what your friend is wearing, what vehicles pass you by and not what others are doing.
Focus on what you have, thank your wife, enjoy your kids, learn your sefarim, and be wealthy by appreciating what you have.
Ah. I have a college rabbi who loves smoking meat...
😂
Guys you gotta clean up the other religion stuff.
@@JJ-kf4kc you literally comment on everything I say. If you don't understand it skip it. I was talking to the video editor not someone that doesn't understand the comment.
פרק מעולה! ממש מעורר השראה.
I wouldn't say frum from birth and baal teshuva. I would say frum by habit and frum by choice. You can be ffb and be frum by choice. You can be a bt and be frum by habit.
B’h🇮🇱✡️
So inspiring
