Shmuel Feld

Rabbi Shmuel Feld serves as the founding director of the Jewish Education Innovation Challenge (JEIC). He was a principal and classroom educator in several Jewish Day Schools before joining JEIC in 2012.

Rabbi Feld’s vision of education was shaped by his personal Torah study and day school learning. He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Chicago and a Master of Science in Education from Harvard Graduate School of Education. Additionally, he completed graduate-level coursework at the Lynch School of Education of Boston College. Rabbi Feld holds one of three ordinations granted by Rabbi Gedalia Dov Schwartz. Rabbi Feld and his JEIC colleagues led an initiative this past May to bring Dr. Catlin Tucker’s approach and methodology to Limudei Kodesh educators in Yeshivot/Day Schools around the country.
