Jacob “Jake” Cohen

Jacob is 43 years old, and he works at a library that's close to the Third precinct. He wasn't always a librarian, but he discovered it was what he wanted to do the most, because it relaxed him. He holds a Masters in accounting, and worked as an accountant at various companies until he decided he found his calling when he applied for the librarian job on the whim. He was 40 when he started working there, and for a while everything was good. That was until a patron of the library started harassing him. He basically stalked Jacob, and one day it escalated in an attempt to force Jacob to have sex with him. Jacob then got out in the rain and ran all the way to the Third precinct where he decided to report the whole thing, before he got too scared to do it. Emilio took personal interest in the case, and thanks to him, the guy following Jacob was arrested.

They started a friendship, because Emilio would often swing to the library, bring food and coffee for Jacob, and generally be nice to him. Eventually that friendship blossomed into something more.

Jacob is Jewish, and his family was traditional enough to send him to study Hebrew as a kid. They were also obsessed with him being left handed, so his mother used to beat him to start using his right hand, whereas both of his parents would hold his left arm behind his back to force him to write with his right when the beatings didn't work. Often they would tie his hand by the wrist, which left a permanent scarred surface on his skin. When Jacob finally got out of their house and started living on his own, he went back to writing with his left hand and covered his scar with a plastic wristband.

When he and Emilio get together and he tells him the history behind the scars, Emilio suggests that Jacob get a tattoo, to own it.

Credit to purchase Black Slaves - yes the Jews Gave Credit

Jacob Cohen was a founder for the Hebrew Orphan Society, who didn't realize he was selling Black Jews - OR DID HE?

We think he didn't care, because they made him and his family rich forever.

are there any Jews who view Jesus in a positive way (aside from like messianic Jews who, as far I’ve understood, are considered evangelical Christians by all other Jews)

Okay, ah, to answer this question simply: to my knowledge, as far as Jewish communities who (1) self-identify as Jewish, (2) consider themselves practicing Judaism, and (3) deny that Jesus of Nazareth is the Messiah go, none of them have an "official" stance on Jesus. Jesus may be a false Messiah, but this is only a "doctrine" in Judaism the same way that the fact that Vissarion of Siberia is a false Parousia of Jesus is a "doctrine" in Christianity — which is to say, not so much an actually asserted belief, but a natural corollary to more deeply held beliefs.

That being said, individual Jewish people have held a variety of beliefs about Jesus of Nazareth. Some of them are, well, quite negative. For example, one Hasidic story tells of how the Baal Shem Tov saw Jesus and Sabbatai Zvi (both false Messiahs) stuck in the same level of Hell together; the infamous Toledot Yeshu, a parody gospel, certainly does not paint Jesus or His Mother in a particularly good light; Maimonides doesn't even use the usual "may his name be blotted out" as he would when talking about an enemy of Israel, but instead uses "may his bones be ground to dust" after citing Jesus by name.

There are relatively sympathetic views among those whose views are negative too, for the record; for example, there's a story of a Rabbi, Yehoshua ben Prachya, who was said to have been incredibly cruel to a student, and by the time he chose to relent that student had already gone off to form his own idolatrous sect. Struck by the consequences of his harshness, he would go on to emphasize the importance of kindness and giving people the benefit of the doubt. Though the timeline doesn't match up (Yehoshua lived two hundred years before Him), some commentators identified this student as Yeshu the Nazarene.

But, let's actually answer your question. You will find a spectrum of relatively positive views. Bob Dylan technically falls outside the parameters I listed above because he does seem to believe Jesus is the Messiah, but I'll use him as the extreme example, because he continued to be active in his Orthodox Jewish community after his conversion. You also have Leonard Cohen, whose Jewishness was very important to him, who could at least understand the importance of the mystical connection to Jesus that Christians claimed as their own — "the figure of Jesus, nailed to a human predicament, summoning the heart to comprehend its own suffering."

You have some scholars, like Amy-Jill Levine; in the work she did in The Misunderstood Jew, The Historical Jesus in Context, and The Jewish Annotated New Testament, she tries to emphasize the idea that the Person of Jesus is something that can bring Christians and Jews into closer ecumenical dialogue; that if Christians could get more comfortable with the Jewish context of Jesus, and if the Jewish community could see the New Testament as a corpus of texts that isn't non-Jewish, but rather a particular type of first century Jewish, then there could be ground for both groups to better understand each other.

During the early modern period, there were attempts by some Jewish thinkers to reclaim Jesus. Rabbi Jacob Emden argued that Jesus never meant to abolish the Law, and that He has actually "done a double kindness in the world" by increasing veneration of the Torah and bringing light to the Gentiles, if only the Gentiles could learn how to properly interpret their own Scriptures (talk about flipping the script!). Moses Mendelssohn also claimed that Jesus never meant to abrogate the Law, and suggested that Jesus and the early Christian community could be models that modern 19th century Jews living among oppressive Prussian authorities could emulate.

The above paragraph was about Jewish individuals who tried to distance Jesus from traditional Christian understandings of Him. So I'm going to end, I think, with Rabbi Jacob Neusner, who engaged the Gospel on its own terms. In 1993, he published A Rabbi Talks with Jesus. In this book, Rabbi Neusner imagines himself as a first century Jewish man and tries to earnestly listen to and consider the words of Jesus as depicted in the Gospel of Matthew. This work places the words of Jesus in conversation with the Rabbinic tradition, and ultimately ends with Neusner being unconvinced and unable to follow Jesus as His disciple. Pope Benedict lauded this work as an authentic exercise in interreligious dialogue, and cites it frequently in his own Jesus of Nazareth.

Endless List of My Favorite Movies

Luca (2021)

[got-ticket-to-ride]

I’m so nervous with who they’re gonna cast to play the boys. Especially John and Paul. I can’t think of ONE Beatle movie or biopic that did a good casting job. They never look even slightly similar to any of them and it pisses me off. If you were up to you, who would you cast for John and Paul specifically?

Hiya anon, thank you for asking me!

First of all let's look at them (argh! perfect)

To be honest, we are pretty much the same, I was super excited hearing the news, but now I am so scared to be disappointed by it. I have a feeling they will cast actors that are lesser known. That is, if they are planning to show the early days of the Beatles, John and Paul meeting. As someone who is not that really into movies as of late, I don't think my palate is large enough to know actors.

And it is so hard to pick someone because how could anybody ever be like John Lennon or Paul Mccartney. It's even harder to pick someone for Paul who is just so beautiful for a man. Maybe it would be really good to pick an actress to play Paul afterall (kidding, kidding).

Disclaimer: (I couldn't find a single actor with beautiful doe eyes and lips and a perfect nose for Paul.. I'm sorry!)

Ok here are some actors that made me go "hmmm" (feel free to add your comments on them... or any suggestions ;)

Jacob Elordi - as John or as Paul ... I don't really know to be honest - but I love his acting and his looks. He did a great job as Elvis Presley in Priscilla too and did you guys see his androgynous photoshoot?

Timothee Chalamet (who plays Bob but ?? maybe if he can skip out being George Harrison's boyfriend) - for John - strong brows - curly hair - jaw - I can kinda see it.

Blake Richardson who plays Paul Mccartney in Midas Man (with better hair) - his eyebrows and nose are really kinda similar to Paul's

Oliver Jackson Cohen (left - as John), Ezra Miller (right - as Paul)

Cole Sprouse (for Paul) - please don't torch me

Paul Mescal (for John)

Maybe I'll just rewatch AHDN over and over. Nothing beats the original for me.

Would love to hear back <3

When Jacob Cohen is not working at the library close to the police station where Emilio works, he freelances as an accountant, helping people and companies with their profit calculations. He is smart and good at what he does. One night, after a patron takes his inquiries about Jacob's personal information too far, Jacob runs to the Third precinct in the rain, to report the person. This is how he meets Emilio, the Captain of the Third, who takes interest in his case, and helps Jacob. They become friends after that, and eventually enter into a relationship. But what happens when Jacob finds out there might still be some sparks left between Emilio and Fabio? Will their relationship survive the storm?

King Julien's accent is Indian. I'm sure that most of the Fandom knows that Sacha Baron Cohen had a lawyer from Sri Lanka and he was inspired to imitate their Indian English accent.

Danny Jacobs did not change it. As an Indian, I'm proud of this. Also, Madagascar was once a part of South India, where i live. Madagascar separated from India with the continental drift and we still have the gap there called "palghat gap" which was formed when the island drifted away
