Jacob Brabender Weisfeld, Captain Groundbat himself, is the RA who resided over the Philosophy B and Exit B boys (Session 2, 2006).
His nickname was born of the minds of a few hip-hop savvy campers shortly after his hosting, along with Pat Curran, of the discussion group Hip-Hop: East Coast v. West Coast. It stems from famed jewelery seller Jacob Arabo and is a sarcastic jab at his purported high authority on all matters hip-hop. The Jeweler was a notorious "Space Nazi", and was also known for his anti-making-out tactics that involved performing pop songs at a high volume.
Jacob will be forever remembered in the hearts of a few for his affirmations of rapper Snoop Dogg's wholesome, commodified family-friendliness as well as rapper Tupac Shakur's gentle, ballet-dancing demeanor.
It should be known that the nickname Jacob the Jeweler is not pejorative but affectionate, because he is a family-friendly figure that wears gang-neutral colors and went to a Quaker school. Straight pimpin'.
