A thread elsewhere led me to generate this off-the-cuff list of YouTube channels with good, reliable, interesting content. It struck me that having this available would be very useful for beginners and experts alike. So below is a woefully incomplete list of Ya’akov Recommended™ YouTube channels. It would be great to have others reply to this with additional suggestions with links to the channels if possible. After a while perhaps a curated list can be created. I decided to just go ahead and start compiling the list as the recommendations come in. If you have comments on any recommended channel—positive or negative—please add it to the thread!
