Rabbi Yaakov D. Homnick gave his first public lecture at the age of fifteen in 1973. Since then, Rabbi Homnick has taught every Jewish subject except Kabbalah, to Jews of every age, every educational level and every religious level. He has counseled people through every sort of life experience. And he does all this with fluency in English, Yiddish and Hebrew.
Rabbi Homnick co-founded Kollel Toras Chesed of Chicago, now the Skokie Community Kollel, in 1985, and headed Kollel Marbeh Chaim in Yerushalayim from 1987 through 1994. He was also a member of the faculty in Yeshiva Ohr Somayach from 1988-1990.
Rabbi Homnick has published over twenty sefarim in Hebrew on various Mesechtos, on Chumash, and on the Haggadah.
