Yaakov as a Teacher Best teacher inspires. Yaakov does exactly so.

He made profound influence on his students’ careers. Most important, he instills in his students

a passion for excellence, a dedication to work, and a love for life.

Deeds teach better than words and actions speak louder than words: Many of Yaakov’s students are accomplished researchers by following his example.
