TOWARD THE LIGHT
~ Monday, 8 January, 2007 ~
Andrew Feder ~ On a sunny spring morning, when the birds were chirping and singing, Andrew Feder was born in Hollywood California, looking like a cross between a Nordic and Asian baby. His father would later sarcastically say that he was adopted from Korea.
Andrew grew up in a dysfunctional Jewish family in San Fernando Valley, a suburb of Los Angeles. He later studied at San Diego State University.
Andrew then went for one year to the University of Haifa in Israel where he lived on a kibbutz and met his ex-wife. (He has three children from this marriage.) He completed his studies at UC Davis (California) in Viticulture and Enology.
Having lived several lives in one, during the eighties, Andrew first lived in Israel for a short period in a settlement on the West Bank and later on a Moshav near Haifa for six years as a grape farmer. There in Israel he studied Kabbalah (Jewish Mysticism) under guidance of the renowned holy man known as 'The Mo’ah'. During his religious studies, he was quite pious as an orthodox observant Jew.
After returning to the United States, for the next ten years, he was a contractor and owner of a construction company. Shortly after his return he continued his studies of Kabbalah and metaphysics under the guidance of renowned psychic, mystic and healer, Janeau St. Clair and her husband, mystic, Elliot Atlas.
In the late nineties, Andrew drove a cab and a limo during hiatus while working as an Assistant Director in the film industry. At the end of the nineties, he moved to Las Vegas from Los Angeles which, for one year, he was (and hates to admit it) a 'damn' telemarketer, selling long distance, and for the past six years he’s been a graphic artist.
During his college years, Andrew wrote several editorials and short stories. Much later, during the so-called mid-life crisis, he evolved in his development to include writing both novels and poems along with subsequent screenplays.
When people first see Andrew they are commonly surprised by his lack of aging and youthful appearance. In other words, they think that he is ten years (sometimes more) younger then his actual age. His response, “Well, we do come out in the daytime…”
Andrew Feder is the author of the novel, When the Angels Have Risen.
