Join CBS-CS Members for a group discussion on "Heart of a Stranger: An Unlikely Rabbi’s Story of Faith, Identity, and Belonging" by Rabbi Angela Buchdahl. Born in South Korea in 1972 and raised by a Korean Buddhist mother and an Ashkenazi Jewish father in Tacoma, Washington, Buchdahl went on to become the first Asian American ordained as a rabbi and first as a cantor. Her new memoir, Heart of a Stranger: An Unlikely Rabbi’s Story of Faith, Identity, and Belonging, traces that journey, from the embracing Jewish community she grew up in to finding herself the answer to a Jeopardy question (“What is rabbi?”) — and, even more bizarrely, picking up the phone one day to hear a hostage-taking gunman make demands of her as the “chief rabbi of the United States.”

Join the JCC for a screening of the powerful film Four Winters which celebrates the stories of courageous Jewish fighters who, despite unimaginable odds, fought back fiercely against Hitler’s war machine. Although the Nazis seized and murdered millions of Jews during World War II, they failed to capture an estimated 25,000 who escaped into the forests of Eastern Europe. Instead of simply hiding, these young men and women — many of them teenagers — banded together to fight back, carrying out deadly acts of sabotage, staging ambushes, and waging clandestine warfare against the Nazis and their collaborators. Featuring interviews with the last living Partisans and also using rare archival film footage, letters, historic war records, and artifacts from Partisans’ personal collections, the film weaves together many strands to shatter the myth of Jewish passivity. ** Film Screening will be following by Zoomed-in Q&A with director **
