NPR story yesterday about a rabbi who has led her temple/synagogue to speak up for Palestinians

[Anonymous]

I'm trying to track down a story that NPR ran yesterday about a rabbi who has led her temple to voice empathy for Palestinians. I just heard the last bit of this story and would like to hear more as my Episcopal church is struggling to find a way of expressing support for immigrants and refugees. Thanks for any help you can provide.

I probably should have said that I already tried searching the npr website and it didn't turn up. Maybe it was a dream? Thanks anyway for your response.

Do you mean Rabbi Angela Warnick Buchdahl? Buchdahl was in the Valley promoting her new memoir, “Heart of a Stranger,” which traces her personal and spiritual journey, including her upbringing in Tacoma, Washington, as the daughter of a Korean Buddhist mother and a Jewish American father. She made history in 2014 as the first woman to serve as senior rabbi of Central Synagogue in its 185-year existence, and she is also the first Asian American to be ordained as a rabbi in North America. Over the last decade, she has become a recognizable voice in American Judaism, featured on the Today Show, NPR, PBS, The Wall Street Journal and in Newsweek’s list of “Most Influential Rabbis.”

You lost me at “her temple.”

I’m not Reform, but I find this automatic dismissal of (a) Reform synagogues (which do call themselves temples) and/or (b) women rabbis to be really obnoxious and unnecessary.
