Heart to Heart With Rabbi Angela Buchdahl
Join us Monday, December 8, 2025, at 8 PM ET for a conversation with Angela Buchdahl, the trailblazing senior rabbi of New York City’s Central Synagogue and one of America’s most influential Jewish spiritual leaders.
She’ll talk with Hadassah Magazine Executive Editor Lisa Hostein about her remarkable journey from South Korea, where she was born, to the rabbinate; finding light and joy in Judaism today amid the many challenges; and her new memoir, Heart of a Stranger: An Unlikely Rabbi’s Story of Faith, Identity, and Belonging.

Gayna Bassin says
This was really hard to find. It is dated 2024/10/20 in the URL, but it is for an event on Monday, December 8, 2025. Very confusing. I need to put it in a print ad for Hadassah, so the URL is very cumbersome and it is hard to do a search for it.
Arielle Kaplan says
