April 29, 2016

Our guest this week is Rabbi Ted Feldman, leader of the B'nai Israel Jewish Center in Petaluma, California. Rabbi Feldman, who has been serving B'nai Israel since 2005, earned his Master of Arts and ordination from the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York. Before coming to B'nai Israel, he served as Executive Director of Jewish Family and Children’s Services of the East Bay. Prior to that, he was the executive director of the Jewish Federation of the Sacramento Region. Before coming to California in 1992, he was the campaign director of the South Palm Beach County Jewish Federation and served two synagogues – in Columbus, GA and Boca Raton, FL.

In this Torah-Talk we talk about the eighth day of Passover and examine the significance of the first week of freedom.
