What does a Rabbi know that Christians, Jews, Atheists, Agnostics, and anyone with curiosity, passion, and a sense of spirituality can learn? Welcome to Ask The Rabbi, I’m your host, Rabbi Leonid Feldman.

My journey to Judaism is unique, as I grew up in a society where it was illegal to believe in God. I knew nothing of Passover or a Bar Mitzvah, never heard of Jesus or Christmas. I actually received an A in college in the course Scientific Atheism. Fast-forward to today, I am the only Conservative Rabbi from Russia.

My curious route to my faith is what allows me to lecture, teach, and learn in a way that not only helps as a religious leader, but allows me to share in a way that helps me in being a better religious leader.

So listen in as we explore Judaism from a totally different perspective, and discover how the Hebrew Bible remains extremely relevant to our lives and this time. The questions we will explore, and the answers we will provide - this is a podcast that will open minds, deepen faith, and provide lessons that are applicable to all of our struggles, challenges, and dilemmas.

So join me on this journey to improve and even transform people’s lives, together. Follow the show now on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you enjoy your podcasts.

Life Changing podcast

It’s not an overstatement for me to say that this podcast has changed my life. I have been on a spiritual path for years that finally led me to Rabbi Leonid and I am SO GRATEFUL for him. I am working through the episodes and each one brings me so much inspiration and understanding. I only wish I could have attended one of his services before he moved to Israel, but I still hold out hope that one day I will meet him in person and be able to thank him face to face.

Pioneering Interfaith Rabbi Feldman

In a world currently mired in chaos, confusion, division, rising anti Semitism and racial and religious intolerance, outstanding leaders like Rabbi Leonid Feldman shine with wisdom and insight to guide us out of this seemingly never ending morass. Rabbi Feldman pioneered interfaith unity over 20 years ago when nobody was bold or brave enough to take a step forward in that unpopular direction. It’s because of Rabbi Feldman’s strength and determination, that our community is one defined as unified and healthy in terms of interfaith communication, respect and understanding. Kol Hakavod to our amazing Rabbi. All persons who know him as a friend, also respect and love him for his unmatched success in bringing people together of all faiths and beliefs. I consider Rabbi Feldman my closest most beloved friend. Bill Callahan
