Ep. 23 - From Renderings to Reality w/Yakov Raskin

Yakov Raskin, a rabbi, artist, and master of 3D renderings, joinsOrange Socks to share his journey from a childhood fascination with design to becoming a global go-to for bringing bold, creative concepts to life. Yakov reflects on his upbringing, his early passion for 3D modeling, and how he turned that passion into a career that blends art, technical precision, and Chassidic values.

In this episode, Yakov discusses his role in visualizing Moully Art's groundbreaking menorah designs, his move to Wyoming to serve as a Chabad emissary, and his unique approach to "photographing things that don’t exist yet." He also shares his work on Torah VR, where he’s helping reimagine Jewish education through immersive virtual reality experiences. This episode highlights the power of creativity, the balance between practicality and passion, and how technology can be used as a tool for spiritual growth and communal impact.
