REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED FOR ALL PARTS OF THIS EVENT

Join Temple Beth El for an evening in conversation with Rabbi Angela Buchdahl as she and Rabbi Gorban discuss her new book, Heart of a Stranger: An Unlikely Rabbi's Story of Faith, Identity, and Belonging, 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. Her book is both a memoir and a spiritual guide for everyday living. If you would like to purchase an autographed copy, you may do so below.

About Rabbi Buchdahl
Angela Buchdahl was born in Korea and grew up in Tacoma, Washington, the daughter of a Korean Buddhist mother and Jewish American father. Despite the naysayers and periods of self-doubt—would a mixed-race woman ever be seen as authentically Jewish and entitled to lead a congregation—she stayed the course, which took her first to Yale, then to rabbinical school, cantorial school, and finally to the pulpit of Central Synagogue in New York – one of the largest, most influential congregations in the world.
