KBS Book Club – “Heart of a Stranger” by Rabbi Angela Buchdahl

The KBS Book Club Fall selection is “Heart of a Stranger: An Unlikely Rabbi’s Story of Faith, Identity, and Belonging” by Rabbi Angela Buchdahl.

“…An inspiring life story of believing and belonging, told by one of the most influential figures in modern American Judaism.” (Kirkus Reviews)

The first Asian-American woman to be ordained as a Rabbi, her book traces her life and the path that led to becoming a leading religious figure admired around the world. The daughter of a Jewish man and a Korean woman, each of whom brought family tradition and the power of faith to her upbringing, Rabbi Buchdahl’s memoir weaves a narrative of growth and discovery with reflections on biblical texts that she delivers to her congregation at New York’s Central Synagogue. A book about finding a calling, it is also a book about inclusion.

The KBS book club will meet online to share insights and discuss “Heart of a Stranger, Sunday, November 15, 10AM Hawai`i time, on Zoom. Connection information will be provided by email.
