ABOUT THIS EPISODE
When a young, newly minted rabbi Emanuel Feldman stepped off the train in Atlanta, Georgia in 1952, he could not have imagined that he would change the trajectory of that Jewish community, or of his own family legacy. But a nearly 40-year rabbinical career there, augmented by a national leadership profile as educator of Tradition Journal and author of best-selling Jewish literature, cemented Rabbi Feldman as one of the most influential American rabbis of the twentieth century.
Now living in Israel and still writing, speaking and educating even decades after "retirement," Rabbi Feldman delights our listeners with his charming anecdotes and stories of a life in service of the Jewish People.
