Rabbi Angela Buchdahl, Senior Rabbi of Central Synagogue and author of the bestselling memoir Heart of a Stranger: An Unlikely Rabbi’s Story of Faith, Identity, and Belonging, joins Rabbi Elliot Cosgrove and journalist Jon Frankel for a deeply personal and timely conversation. Drawing on her life as an immigrant, an Asian American woman, and a Jewish leader who has often felt like an outsider, Rabbi Buchdahl reflects on what it truly means to belong. Together, they explore Jewish teachings on welcoming the stranger, the challenges of pluralism within Jewish life, and why empathy, humility, and shared responsibility matter more than ever in a divided world.
