Ep. 61 - An Eyewitness Report From The Home Front

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.
