Biography
Dovid Feinstein was born in 1929 in Lyuban (in present-day Belarus), where his father Moshe Feinstein served as a rabbi of the community. He was named after his paternal grandfather, who was descended from the brother of the Vilna Gaon. When he was eight, his family moved to Manhattan, where he would reside until his death.[1][2] He died at the age of 91 in 2020.[3]
He was known for following the directive of the mishnah in Avos 1:15 "אמור מעט ועשה הרבה - Speak less and do more".

Published works
Kol Dodi
The title Kol Dodi (Hebrew: קול דודי) originated in the 1970s, when Feinstein's father was still alive, and Feinstein would not allow his own name on the cover. Hence Kol Dodi – the first three letters of Dodi (Hebrew: דודי) spell the name Dovid (Hebrew: דוד).
Kol Dodi means "My Beloved's voice", and is taken from Song of Songs (5:2), where is commonly understood in Judaism to be a reference to God.[6]
