SUMMARY:Join Rabbi Angela Buchdahl in Conversation with Rabbi Caryn Broitma
 n
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, August 10\n\n7:30 PM\nHeart of a Stranger: An Unlikely
  Rabbi’s Story of Faith\, Identity\, and Belonging on Conversation Foll
 owed by Q&amp\;A and Reception \nRabbi Angela Buchdahl will be in convers
 ation with Rabbi Caryn Broitman about Rabbi Buchdahl’s book\, Heart of a
  Stranger: An Unlikely Rabbi’s Story of Faith\, Identity\, and Belonging
 .\n\nRabbi Buchdahl has often felt like “the stranger” throughout her 
 journey to becoming a rabbi\, but rather than solely an isolating\, painfu
 l experience\, it has also been a source of growth and connection. \n\nIn
  a time when every minority group has felt in some way marginalized or out
 side the tent in America\, she eventually concludes\, “If we recognize t
 hat everyone of us carries the heart of the stranger\, maybe we’ll final
 ly grasp that our need for belonging is the starting point for a common hu
 manity.”\n\nREGISTER HERE\n\nAngela Warnick Buchdahl serves as the senio
 r rabbi of Central Synagogue in New York City\, a flagship Reform synagogu
 e\, dubbed the first ‘mega-shul’ by the Wall Street Journal.  Buchdah
 l is the first woman to lead Central in its 185-year history. Born in Seou
 l\, Korea\, Buchdahl graduated from Yale University and went on to become 
 the first Asian American ordained as a cantor and first ordained as rabbi 
 in North America. Rabbi Buchdahl has been nationally recognized for her in
 novations in leading worship\, which draw large crowds in the congregation
 ’s historic Sanctuary and a million live streamers in more than 100 coun
 tries. Rabbi Buchdahl was invited by President Barack Obama in 2014 and Pr
 esident Joe Biden in 2023 to share blessings and light the menorah for the
  White House Hanukkah Party\, the first rabbi invited by two administratio
 ns. Rabbi Buchdahl serves on the boards of American Jewish Committee\, The
  Asia Society\, Yale University Presidents Council\, and New York Board of
  Rabbis. She has been featured on the Today Show\, NPR\, PBS and Newsweek
 ’s “America’s 50 Most Influential Rabbis.” Rabbi Buchdahl’s memo
 ir\, Heart of a Stranger\, a New York Times Best Seller and Jewish Book Aw
 ards finalist\, was published by Penguin/Random House in October 2025.  R
 abbi Buchdahl and her husband Jacob have three children.
