Featured March 8 @ 10:30 am - 12:00 pm Amram Scholar Series: Rabbi Angela Buchdahl, “Heart of a Stranger” Temple 3935 Macomb St. NW, Washington, DC, United States Learn RSVP About the Author Rabbi Angela Warnick Buchdahl serves as the Senior Rabbi of Central Synagogue in New York City and is the first woman to lead the congregation in its 180-year history. Buchdahl was born in Seoul, the daughter of a Korean Buddhist mother and Jewish American father. Profoundly spiritual from a young age, by sixteen she felt the first stirrings to become a rabbi. Despite the naysayers and periods of self-doubt—Would a mixed-race woman ever be seen as authentically Jewish or chosen to lead a congregation?—she stayed the course, which took her first to Yale, then to rabbinical school, and finally to the pulpit of one of the largest, most influential congregations in the world.
