Early Life and Education
Emanuel was the eldest of three sons born to Rabbi Joseph H. Feldman, a native of Warsaw and scion of a rabbinical family. Joseph Feldman served as a rabbi in Manchester, New Hampshire in the 1930s, but left that post to assume the helm of Baltimore's Franklin Street Synagogue so his sons could attend a Hebrew day school.
Emanuel entered the day school in 1938. After eighth-grade graduation, he attended public school and studied Hebrew subjects with his father and principal in the afternoons. At the age of 15 he entered Yeshiva Rabbi Chaim Berlin for a year of high school, and from age 16 to 24 he studied at Yeshivas Ner Yisroel, where he received his rabbinical ordination in 1952. That same year, he earned his Master of Arts degree from Johns Hopkins University, having earlier completed a Bachelor of Science degree at that university.
In 1971 Feldman earned his doctorate in religion from Emory University.

Famous quotes containing the words early life, early, life and/or education:
“... business training in early life should not be regarded solely as insurance against destitution in the case of an emergency. For from business experience women can gain, too, knowledge of the world and of human beings, which should be of immeasurable value to their marriage careers. Self-discipline, co-operation, adaptability, efficiency, economic management,—if she learns these in her business life she is liable for many less heartbreaks and disappointments in her married life.”
—Hortense Odlum (1892–?)
“O troubled forms, O early love unfortunate and hard,
Time has estranged you into a jewel cold and pure;”
—Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)
“Art is only a means to life, to the life more abundant. It is not in itself the life more abundant. It merely points the way, something which is overlooked not only by the public, but very often by the artist himself. In becoming an end it defeats itself.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
“The study of tools as well as of books should have a place in the public schools. Tools, machinery, and the implements of the farm should be made familiar to every boy, and suitable industrial education should be furnished for every girl.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
