About the event
Join us for an intimate gathering with Rabbi Angela Buchdahl, the first Asian-American rabbi and Senior Rabbi of Central Synagogue, to discuss her new memoir, Heart of a Stranger. This special conversation will provide a space for Asian Jews to connect with Rabbi Buchdahl and reflect on themes of identity and belonging at the intersection of Jewish and Asian experiences. It is highly encouraged to read the book before the event, which you can purchase at https://bookshop.org/p/books/heart-of-a-stranger-an-unlikely-rabbi-s-story-of-faith-identity-and-belonging-angela-buchdahl/1081c7ce5e5eb07b?ean=9780593490174&next=t. This event is open to Asian American Jews. LUNAR defines ‘Asian American Jews’ as folks who identify as both Jewish (whether by heritage, religion or culture) and Asian American - this includes mixed race folks, transracial adoptees, Asian Jews by Choice, and more. We fully welcome those in the process of converting to Judaism, or simply exploring Judaism. This event is free to attend, with a suggested donation of $18. This event…
