SUMMARY:Rabbi Angela Buchdahl at the Hebrew Center
DESCRIPTION:Conversation Followed by Q&amp\;A and Reception\n\nRabbi Buchda
 hl has often felt like “the stranger” throughout her journey to becomi
 ng a rabbi\, but rather than solely an isolating\, painful experience\, it
  has also been a source of growth and connection.\nIn a time when many min
 ority groups in America have felt marginalized or outside the tent\, she e
 ventually concludes\, “If we recognize that every one of us carries the 
 heart of the stranger\, maybe we’ll finally grasp that our need for belo
 nging is the starting point for a common humanity.”\nRabbi Caryn Broitma
 n will interview Rabbi Angela Buchdahl about her book\, Heart of a Strange
 r: An Unlikely Rabbi’s Story of Faith\, Identity\, and Belonging\, follo
 wed by a Q&amp\;A and reception.\nREGISTER HERE\n\nAngela Warnick Buchdahl
