Born and educated in England, Jacobs became minister of the Amalgamated Congregation of Israelites in Kingston, Jamaica around 1886. There, he lobbied successfully for the removal of a stamp tax on Jewish weddings.

In 1900 Jacobs moved to Toronto to become rabbi of the recently completed Holy Blossom synagogue. Jacobs' influence quickly grew beyond that temple and he became a representative of Jews throughout the area.
