Timeline

On March 22 2019 she opened the doors of Central Synagogue to hundreds of worshipers from a nearby mosque ravaged by fire, a kind gesture, which made the national news.

In December 2019 the Jewish Telegraphic Agency named her among the Jews who defined the 2010s and stated, "The choice of Buchdahl to replace the retiring Rabbi Peter Rubinstein elevated a woman and a Jew of color to a position of virtually unprecedented prominence in the Jewish world and made Buchdahl a potent symbol of the changing face of American Judaism."

On July 1, 2014, Angela Buchdahl succeeded Peter Rubinstein as Senior Rabbi at Central Synagogue, the first woman and first Asian-American to hold the post in the Synagogue's long history, and one of only a few women serving as leaders of a major U.S. synagogue. Central Synagogue has membership of over 7,000, over $30 million in endowment, and approximately 100 full-time employees.

In December 2014 she was welcomed by President Barack Obama to lead the prayers at the White House Hanukkah celebration. At the podium, she commented on how special the scene was, asking the President if he believed America's founding fathers could possibly have pictured that a female Asian-American rabbi would one day be at the White House leading Jewish prayers in front of the African-American president. Her speech on the meaning of Hannukah and religious freedom met with applause and cheers. Writer Abigail Pogrebin, who also served as President of Central Synagogue (where Buchdahl is Senior Rabbi), noted that as Buchdahl "stood alongside the African-American president and led us in the Hebrew blessing over the candles, there was a moving magnificence both in that unlikely tableau and in the sound of a Jewish prayer filling The People's house".

She and her husband Jacob Buchdahl, an attorney who was a classmate at Yale, have three children—Gabriel, Eli, and Rose—and live in New York City.

She joined Central Synagogue, a large Reform congregation in Manhattan, as senior cantor in 2006. During her tenure as of 2012, Friday night attendance at the synagogue had doubled, post-bar mitzvah retention had tripled and the waiting list for membership had risen to over 300. In 2013, she was named as the Senior Rabbi of the Central Synagogue. She is the first woman and the first Asian-American to be their Senior Rabbi.

In 1999 she was invested as a cantor and then ordained as a rabbi in 2001 by HUC-JIR, an American seminary for Reform Judaism. She became assistant rabbi and cantor at Westchester Reform Temple, which in 2003 had membership of over 1,200 families.

She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Religious Studies from Yale University in 1994, and began her cantorial and rabbinic studies at Hebrew Union College.

Angela Warnick Buchdahl (born Angela Lee Warnick on 8 July 1972) is an American rabbi. She was the first Asian-American to be ordained as a rabbi, and the first Asian-American to be ordained as a hazzan (cantor) anywhere in the world. In 2011 she was named by Newsweek and the Daily Beast as one of "America's Most Influential Rabbis," and in 2012 by the Daily Beast as one of “America’s 50 Most Influential Rabbis.” Buchdahl was recognized as one of the top five in The Forward' s 2014 "Forward Fifty", a list of American Jews who have had the most impact on the national scene in the previous year.

Her 20th great-grandfather on her mother's side was King Taejo, as she discovered when she was featured in Finding Your Roots, a PBS series hosted by Henry Louis Gates Jr. She also discovered then that her Romanian great-grandfather, Srul Soss, came by ship to New York in 1899 and lived a few blocks from the current location of Central Synagogue, where she is now rabbi.
