Jessica Feingold (1910 – 2003) devoted more than forty-five years of her life to carrying out the goals of the Jewish Theological Seminary. She edited fifty books that originated at the institution, while also serving in almost uncountable administrative positions, including that of principal assistant to Louis Finkelstein, who was provost, president, and then chancellor of the seminary.
