    Caleb Jacoby, son of Boston Globe columnist Jeff Jacoby, was last seen Monday afternoon at approximately 12:30 PM. A student at Maimonides School, Caleb is described as 5’11, weighing 140 pounds and was wearing glasses, navy chino pants, a navy polo short, a brown hooded winter coat, white socks and brown shoes or sneakers at the time of his disappearance.

    According to the school’s Facebook page, volunteers age 18 and up were requested to come to Maimonides this morning for a search to begin after shachris this morning.

    “We need people to search, to get his picture out and to hang flyers,” Efrat Lipshitz, one of Caleb’s teachers at Maimonides told VIN News, adding that Caleb was not in school on Monday, the day of his disappearance.

    According to Brookline Police, no foul play is suspected at this time.

    “He could be either missing or a runaway,” said Captain Thomas Keaveney of the Brookline Police Department’s Community Services Division. “It doesn’t matter what term you use, the key is that we don’t suspect any foul play.”

    Jeff Jacoby expressed his appreciation for the outpouring of support following Caleb’s disappearance last night tweeting, “We are so deeply, deeply grateful for everything being done to reunite us with our beloved son Caleb.”

    Caleb, a Brookline Village resident, is known to frequent libraries and the Young Israel of Brookline. The public is asked to daven for the safe return of Calev Avraham ben Elisheva.

    Anyone with any information about Caleb’s whereabouts is asked to call the Brookline police at 617-730-2222.

    He could be missing or runaway but no foul play? I understand if he ran away that there is no foul play, but what about “missing”?! What is the definition of “missing”?

    They should check nearby stores with cameras, bus station with cameras. Pray for successful end.

    The family should know and be forthcoming if he did in fact run away, it makes a big difference on where to concentrate the searches.

    #8 &#8 211; presumably so he doesn&#8 217;t flee when approached. That&#8 217;s just my hunch though.

    To Sharon MA #7 is there a link where you can direct us to verify this information? I’m a little reluctant to post based on an anonymous post here but I have friends in Providence. Thank you.

    Very inspiring. I read about Calebs disappearance and opened tehilim to random kapital to say tehilim. The kapital i said ended with the words “moishivi akeres habayis aim habonim samaycho”.(kapitel 113)
