Rabbi Feldman has over 15 years experience at high level Yeshivot as both student and teacher where he gained the relevant Torah fundamentals and skills to lead and teach a congregation. This is complemented by a degree in Liberal Arts and a councellor’s license. He received semicha in 2011 and recently completed a two year rabbinic training programme at the Ohr Lagolah Leadership Institute.
Rabbi and Rebbetzen Feldman have lived in Israel and both have backgrounds deeply entrenched with social and community work, involving people of all ages, differing levels of orthodoxy and working with people with special needs. The couple have three children.
