Rabbi Leonid Feldman was born to Jewish parents but grew up an atheist in the Soviet Union, a society where it was illegal to believe in God or any ideology that was not communism. Rabbi Feldman was indoctrinated from his youth to spread communism worldwide while being persecuted and discriminated against for his Jewish roots. When he was 23-years old, he escaped and immigrated to the United States in 1980. He has since become a Rabbi in South Florida, where he has dedicated his life to teaching people about Judaism and how to strengthen their connection with God.
