Jew­ish Book Month 100: One Com­mu­ni­ty
with Rab­bi Angela Buch­dahl in Con­ver­sa­tion with Abi­gail Pogrebin
Tuesday, November 18th, 1:00 PM, Virtual

From the first Asian-Amer­i­­can to be ordained as a Rab­bi, a stir­ring account of one woman’s jour­ney from feel­ing like an out­sider to becom­ing one of the most admired reli­gious lead­ers in the world. Angela Buch­dahl was born in Korea and grew up in Taco­ma, Wash­ing­ton, the daugh­ter of a Kore­an Bud­dhist moth­er and Jew­ish Amer­i­can father. Today, Angela Buch­dahl is revered by Jews and non-Jews alike for her invig­o­rat­ing, joy­ful approach to wor­ship, and her belief in the pow­er of faith, grat­i­tude, and respon­si­bil­i­ty for each oth­er. Angela's mem­oir, Heart of a Stranger is a spir­i­tu­al guide for every­day liv­ing, which is exact­ly what so many of us crave right now.
