Jewish Identity: Made in China

Yaakov lives with his wife and daughter in West Rogers Park, a neighborhood of Chicago. He speaks around the country about his forthcoming book, “Made in China,” his story of how, while living in rural China for seven years, with no Jews or Judaism, he had his Jewish awakening. He is a private Taichi instructor, and he works in finance.
