Amy Feder

Growing up in St. Louis, Amy Feder wanted to be either a lounge singer or a rabbi. Twenty years into the rabbinate, she’s finally getting to do both. As the co-senior rabbi of Congregation Temple Israel (to which Amy is donating her proceeds,) Amy has worked to bring music into the hearts and lives of her community.
