In celebration of Jewish Book Month!

Rabbi Angela Buchdahl discusses her inspiring journey from outsider to trailblazing spiritual leader, in conversation with writer Abigail Pogrebin. Buchdahl is the author of Heart of a Stranger: An Unlikely Rabbi's Story of Faith, Identity, and Belonging.

She serves as the Senior Rabbi of Central Synagogue in New York City and is the first woman to lead Central’s Reform congregation in its 180-year history. Rabbi Buchdahl has been featured in dozens of news outlets including the Today Show, NPR, and PBS and was listed as one of Newsweek’s “America’s 50 Most Influential Rabbis.” She serves on the boards of the American Jewish Committee (AJC), the Asia Society, the New York Board of Rabbis, and the Yale University President's Council.
