Rabbi Angela Buchdahl has written both memoir and spiritual guide for everyday
living, inspiring Jews and non-Jews alike with her invigorating, joyful
approach to worship and her belief in the power of faith, gratitude, and
responsibility for one another, regardless of religion. From the first Asian
American to be ordained as a rabbi, a stirring account of one woman’s journey
from feeling like an outsider to becoming one of the most admired religious
leaders in the world.
