(Courtesy of JCOT) On December 4 the Jewish Center of Teaneck Commemorated the fourth yahrzeit of Rabbi David Feldman, z”l, who was the rabbi of the Jewish Center for many years. Rabbi Feldman’s belief in the power of words was the topic of the evening’s event: “Words Matter: The Transformative Power of Speech.” Family members Rabbi Daniel Feldman, Rabbi Jonathan Feldman and Rebecca Feldman spoke on Rabbi Feldman’s belief in the power of words. Dr. Tal Becker, son-in-law of Rabbi Feldman and legal advisor to the foreign ministry of the state of Israel, spoke on the impact of words in international diplomacy.

Rabbi Daniel Fridman, rabbi of the Jewish Center of Teaneck, noted Rabbi Feldman’s exceptional commitment to kindness in word and deed, along with his life partner, Aviva, who remains active in the community, and announced that the Rabbi’s Discretionary Fund at the Jewish Center of Teaneck has been renamed the Rabbi David M. Feldman Memorial Chessed Fund.
