JNS.org – The Boston Jewish community is uniting around the search for Caleb Jacoby, 16, who was last seen at 12:30 p.m. Monday, according to police in the Boston suburb of Brookline. Caleb is the son of prominent Boston Globe columnist Jeff Jacoby.
Local Jewish organizations and community members were circulating fliers with Jacoby’s photograph and description as well as searching local areas.
“He’s a very quiet boy, he’s also a very good one,” Efrat Lipschitz, Jacoby’s Hebrew teacher, told MassLive. “People really love him in school because he is a very good person.”
On Twitter, Jeff Jacoby thanked the Jewish community for its support.
“We are so deeply, deeply grateful for everything being done to reunite us with our beloved son Caleb,” Jacoby wrote.
A prayer vigil is scheduled to be held at Young Israel of Brookline.
