Congregation B'nai Israel

Rabbi Louis Feldstein

There is rarely a question about Judaism he can't answer. His knowledge of Judaism and Torah that he conveys through his sermons and his study groups, provides all who listen to him an appreciation and pride of being Jewish.

Rabbi Feldstein works full time as the senior vice president at the Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta. His work includes being the chief operating officer with responsibility for the ongoing operations of the Federation and oversees major divisions of the agency, including "campaign, endowment, engagement, planning and partnerships, marketing, supervision and facilitating staff, building uniformity of the team to move in one direction, all for the enhancement and betterment of our Jewish community."

Ordained as a Reform Rabbi, he first moved to Atlanta in 1992 as founding director of Atlanta Yad, the agency responsible for Jewish young adults that has now transitioned into Hillels of Georgia. He has also overseen young adult coordination from metro Atlanta to Kennesaw.

After that, Rabbi Feldstein worked for United Jewish Communities as associate vice president of research and analysis. He came to UJC, the national representative organization of some 150 local Jewish Federations across the country, in 2001 as Southeast Florida regional director.
