Princeton, NJ… Rabbi Adam S. Feldman, age 55, passed away suddenly and tragically, while traveling in Hawaii with his family, on Tuesday, December 24, 2019. He was Senior Rabbi of The Jewish Center in Princeton.
Rabbi Feldman received his ordination from the Jewish Theological Seminary of America in New York in 1999. His formal education included receiving a BA from Rutgers University in Hebraic Studies, as well as studying at the Hebrew University and Machon Schechter in Jerusalem.
Among his prior positions, he was deeply involved in a wide range of youth and teen activities at Camp Ramah in the Poconos, Camp Ramah in the Berkshires and United Synagogue Youth (USY) and was Adult Program Director and Youth Community Director at the Highland Park Conservative Temple and Center.
Rabbi Feldman joined The Jewish Center in the summer of 2005 after serving for six years as Assistant and Associate Rabbi at Temple Beth Sholom in Roslyn Heights, NY. During his more than fourteen years as spiritual leader of The Jewish Center, the congregation made many significant advances. Rabbi Feldman devoted his passion for Judaism, love of teaching and innovative programming for the benefit of the congregation and community. He was widely respected by his clergy colleagues of all faiths in the greater Princeton area.
Rabbi Feldman is survived by his wife, Sara Bucholtz, their children Talia, Dena and Ilan Feldman, his parents Leonard and Nikki Feldman, and his sisters Lisa and Amy.
Funeral services will be held Sunday, December 29 at 10 a.m. at The Jewish Center, 435 Nassau Street, Princeton, NJ. As a reflection of Rabbi Feldman’s love of life and Philadelphia sports, his family welcomes Phillies, Eagles or Sixers apparel at the funeral.

As an old friend of Sara from her USY days in New Jersey, I was very saddened to hear that Rabbi Feldman had suddenly passed. My sympathy to the family during a very tragic time, even months later. Best wishes doesn’t even begin to quantify what I wish the family.
