The funeral will be held on Sunday, Dec. 29 at 10 a.m. at The Jewish Center of Princeton at 435 Nassau St. in Princeton with interment at Beth Israel Cemetery in Woodbridge.

Those attending are asked to allow ample time for travel and parking so the funeral service can begin promptly, the center stated in a release.

As a reflection of Rabbi Feldman's love of life and Philadelphia sports, his family welcomes Phillies, Eagles or Sixers apparel at the funeral.

Feldman was married to Sara Bucholtz, a corporate lawyer, and lived in Princeton with their children Talia, Dena, and Ilan.

He also is survived by his parents Len and Nikki, his sisters Lisa and Amy and extended family.

Feldman had served as Rabbi at the Jewish Center of Princeton since 2005. During his time at the Jewish Center Feldman was part of the educational team that created their new #SULAM Hebrew High School Program; served as a teacher in the Adult Learning Program; and helped the center receive national awards for synagogue programming.

Feldman was also a founding member of the Princeton Police Department's Chaplain Program.

"The Jewish Center was blessed by Rabbi Feldman's spiritual and rabbinic leadership for more than 14 years. During the time he was with us, the congregation provided a spiritual home for Jews from the surrounding communities in Mercer, Middlesex and Somerset counties, as well as from many parts of the world. Rabbi Feldman devoted his passion for Judaism, love of teaching, and innovative programming for the benefit of the congregation and community. His spirit, compassion, vision and leadership will be profoundly missed," the Jewish Center of Princeton wrote.

The Jewish Center of Princeton will be providing all Shiva meals for the family. In lieu of food, donations to the organizations below in memory of Rabbi Feldman will be accepted.

The family has asked that memorial contributions be made to The Jewish Center, 435 Nassau St., Princeton NJ 08540; the Princeton Health Religious Ministries Department, 1 Plainsboro Rd., Plainsboro, NJ 08536; or Camp Ramah in the Poconos, 2100 Arch St., Philadelphia, PA 19103.
