What if faith is less about having answers and more about asking the right questions?
In this episode of QuestionAble Strategy, Antonia speaks with Rabbi Angela Buchdahl, Senior Rabbi of Central Synagogue and author of Heart of a Stranger, about curiosity, identity, grief, and belonging. Angela shares how growing up Korean, Jewish, and Buddhist shaped her leadership, and how having the “heart of a stranger” became her superpower.
You do not need to be Jewish or know anything about Judaism to connect with this conversation. It is for anyone who has wrestled with big questions, felt like an outsider, experienced loss, or tried to understand someone with a different point of view.
You’ll learn:
- Why questioning and wrestling with uncertainty are central to Jewish faith and tradition
- How to find the deeper need hidden beneath questions that have no easy answers
- What Jewish mourning practices teach us about supporting people through grief
- How sacred traditions can evolve through interpretation while staying connected to their roots
- How to begin to understand people whose beliefs differ from our own
Join us for a thoughtful conversation about faith, doubt, identity, and seeing the humanity in one another.
