The NYPD and Shomrim volunteers are searching for Yakov Gourin, 23, after his twin reported to police that he has been missing for 18 hours. Yakov’s married twin brother, Yisroel, became concerned after Yakov failed to show up for a scheduled performance, and had not made any contact with him – something which had never happened before.
He was last seen at 11:00pm last night. His vehicle, a 1993 ford Econoline license plate number EWV2533, is missing as well.
If you have any information that may lead to his whereabouts, please contact Shomrim at 718-774-3333.
Update 7:48 PM: Yakov has still not been found, but was possibly seen at 1:00pm today in Boro Park. This sighting has not been confirmed, and is the source of some false reports and rumors.
Our information has been confirmed by the police department, who have filed a missing person’s report and are coordinating with Shomrim to try and locate him.
CrownHeights.info has also confirmed this information with Yisroel Gourin, Yakov’s twin brother, who says he has absolutely no idea where other sources have gotten their information from.
Update: 8:01 PM: The story seems to have an interesting twist:
We have obtained information that Yakov has disappeared along with five thousand dollars in cash and his passport.
We will continue to update this story with verified information as it unfolds.
Update: 8:52 PM: We remain in constant contact with the Shomrim search team, the NYPD and his brother Yisroel. No confirmed contact has yet been made with Yakov since last night.

Wow sounds intriguing.
I don’t think it’s true.
Let’s just hope he’s only hiding under his bed, hoping to gain more fame…
By being in the news.
where did you post this story from? sounds strange. i mean, assuming its true, just because i have no reason yet not to think so, its scary.
This is a hard act to follow.
Who needs more details. B”H he is fine, that’s all that matters and that’s all we care. Any further details is a wrong invasion of his privacy.
It would be an invasion of privacy to know the details, but I was just wondering if it was even true. I read it late last night and it really disturbed my sleep. I woke up concerned and would not appreciate it if it was a joke.
if it was true it would be on yeshiva world news. it can’t be he’s the only one he knows about this.
It was a prank! Sick guy I’d say
It was no prank at all.
Let then eat cake.
B”H he was found,
How did they know it was him maybe the other one was missing and said it was him missing? J/K
These two brothers are a probably so close, they do shows togeather all summer & all winter long.
I could just imagine him wanting a break and spliting from his brother for couple hours.
Think of it he’s 23, what if he want’s to start looking for a shiduch. Is the other twin going to follow him? or call the police that one of them are missing?
Interesting pair, do they know a word english yet? if not you can really get lost.
