Come meet Rabbi Yakov Horowitz. In this episode you will get a glimpse into who Rabbi Horowitz is and how he got started doing all the amazing work and support for the Jewish Community. He grew up in Crown Heights and his father died when he was only 3 years old. It is so ironic that he went into Jewish education since school was never his thing. “People would have burst out laughing if they heard I was going into education." His first teaching job was in summer camp and it began to grow from there. Today Rabbi Horowitz is a sought after educator wether it be on traditional learning; parenting skills, teens at risk, or sexual abuse. We will definitely have to have him back!
