Rabbi Moshe Feller

Rabbi Moshe Feller, Minnesota shluchim of the Lubavitcher Rebbe since 1962, founded Bais Chana together with Rabbi Manis Friedman in 1971. Their firm belief in the power of Jewish women’s education continues to motivate their commitment to Bais Chana’s growth and development.

Rabbi Feller’s enthusiastic Bais Chana talks are always inspiring; his insistence that practical action be fused with spiritual inspiration is his trademark message. Feller’s obvious interest in each participant’s material and spiritual welfare underscores his unique love for all fellow Jews.

In addition to the direction of Upper Midwest Merkos Lubavitch and its numerous outreach programs, Feller continues to serve as Scholar-In-Residence at Shabbat weekends all over the US; has opened the US Senate and House of Representatives more than any other clergy and has represented Judaism in the Oval Office at least ten times in the past twenty years. A native Minnesotan brought up with traditional Judaism, he gravitated toward the teachings of Chassidus as a young man.
