Emanuel Feldman: On Being a Jewish Writer [Books 3/3]

In this episode of the 18Forty Podcast, we talk to Rabbi Emanuel Feldman about writing styles.

Rabbi Feldman has the unique gift to write in multiple voices for multiple audiences. He mixes his pitches so his readers never quite know what to expect. Rabbi Feldman joins us today to talk about the unique styles of Jewish writing.

- What motivates a rabbi to begin a parallel career as a writer?
- Why is criticism something to love?
- Has Jewish writing gotten better over time?

Tune in to hear a conversation about Yinglish, thumb-driven computers, and Mrs. Cooperman.

Interview begins at 22:49

Rabbi Emanuel Feldman is the rabbi emeritus of Beth Jacob synagogue in Atlanta, Georgia. He previously served as editor-in-chief of Tradition Magazine and has authored 11 books. Additionally, he was editor of the Ariel Rashi Translation Project for 17 years.
