Rabbi Angela Buchdahl was pro­found­ly spir­i­tu­al from a young age\, she felt a con­nec­tion to God when only a child and felt the first stir­rings to become a rab­bi at age six­teen. Despite the naysay­ers and peri­ods of self-doubt she stayed the course\, which took her first to Yale\, then to rab­bini­cal school\, can­to­r­i­al school\, and final­ly to the pul­pit of one of the largest\, most influ­en­tial con­gre­ga­tions in the world. She has writ­ten a book that is both a mem­oir and a spir­i­tu­al guide for every­day liv­ing\, which is exact­ly what so many of us crave right now. \nNo reservations are required and light refreshments will be served.
