Rabbi Angela Buchdahl brought me back to Judaism. Having been away from the synagogue for several years, I always yearned to have a connection to a place where I'd worship and learn about Judaism. One Shabbat I was just checking you tube and saw Central Synagogue video advertised, I turned it on and listened to Rabbi Angela and have since been participating in services since then. She is everything I always looked for in a teacher.

[@ajarnwordsmith628]

Amen. B"H

[@andreamorris9964]

I love listening to Angela's shabbat services from London. You are a terrific soul. Thankyou.andrea

[@hannagg9365]

One of the most important zionists that has ever lived. Rabbi Mark Golub, G-d bless you… we can’t do it without you. We need you on the battlefield for many years to come. Praying for your health and well-being. You are beyond amazing. Your contribution to our community is almost unparalleled. Thank you for so many years of love, dedication, and JEWISH EDUCATION!!! Looking forward to many, many more years to come. Till 120! Amen. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻♥️♥️♥️💐💐💐💐 ✡️ ✡️ ✡️ 🕎 🕎 🕎

[@dcrelief]

I love Rabbi Buchdahl and the entire community at Central Synagogue. I left Christianity and began watching their Friday and Saturday services, via KZbin. If I lived in New York I would attend.

[@normalhispanicdude]

Rabbi Buchdal is one of a kind. I have been following online services simply just because of her talent and incredible sermons that resonates with many of us.

[@lizgichora6472]

Beautiful conversation! Thank you both very much Rabbi Angela and Rabbi Mark Golub.

[@edyerae1000]

Everything that Rabbi GOLUB has said about Rabbi Angela is what I feel about her. I feel the same for the entire clergy. Thank you all, you are all meaningful to me.

[@albionet9749]

what a tryely wonderful interview - this was long time coming - huge love from Isreal, thanks both of you.

[@ajarnwordsmith628]

Rabbi Buchdahl, what struck me is that you have a palpable Jewish soul, and that makes you a Jew, a member of our people, a nation that is a "light unto all nations". G-d bless you, Rabbi.

[@skippylober7231]

such a wonderful talk which will be helpful in my family! Thank you 😊

[@norbertfranz2702]

This was so enlightening and comforting. I agree with everything that Rabbi Golub said about Rabbi Buchdahl in the introduction. As a matter of fact, Rabbi Buchdahl has also become my "internet rabbi," as I sometimes jokingly say, and I've watched her services pretty much every Shabbat for over a year, which also coincided with my very first year of Torah reading. I often wish I could be there in New York, and every question that I have about Torah portions, prayer, halakha, converting, and so forth, I would love to be able to just ask Rabbi Buchdahl directly. G-d bless all of you.

so glad 2 have found Rabbi Angela & Central Synagogue! :)

[@janecamillerihaber2115]

I am a lover of the jewish people, pray for them, follow the news of what concerns them and feel one of them in more than my surname gives witness to. in these last few years I have followed central synagogue activities after having accidentally fallen onto one of your videos on youtube and look forward to your weekly sabbath celebrations and other high feasts screened on youtube. the music and general organisation of all the events are just professionally perfect and that is an added bonus. I love to see the congregation participate in all the celebrations and especially how the festivities always highlight some aspect or other of jewish family life such as bar and bat mizvah , a couple getting married , loved ones who have passed on to a better life and others. having said that I wish to express my greatest admiration to rabbi Buchdahl who glues me to my chair everytime she is giving a sermon. she is so profpund intelligent and truly commited to the lord. her words are clothed in authority whioch only the lord imparts tom his dear committed servants. may the lord bless you and keep you rabbi, may the lord shine his light upon you and keep you in his peace amen

[@terry9238]

Thank you, Rabbis, for this wonderful conversation! And by the way, for those commenters who aren’t familiar with this series: Rabbi Golub introduces EVERY guest in the same respectful and positive manner. And it’s entirely appropriate that he does so.

[@ajarnwordsmith628]

Your comment, so true and on point, reminds me of his interview with Jackie Mason. Rabbi Golub was in the moment, as usual, introducing Jackie Mason with an ever more glowing torrent of superlatives when, at the very moment Jackie Mason was cued to speak, he did so with the following quip: "It's a pity you didn't have anything good to say about me."

[@patricialauriello3805]

I am a Roman Catholic and enjoy listening to her on you tube.

[@annafrankmusicofficial]

That's my Rabbi!!!!

[@reneecannady9843]

Rabbi Golub it was so nice to see this. Finally I got to see your personality. I am so happy. Thank you. What a wonderful interview.

[@ellenringier4519]

I am more inspired by this talk than words can say... I regret, my jewish mother didn't bring me up in jewish tradition, after what she went trough in Vienna 1938 as a young teenager, she has been scared of antisemitism all her life, didn't want to put her children at risk!

This is such a wholesome interview. I’m touched by the honest answers of whether you believe there is a God even though both of you are supposed to lead people to God. I’m thankful for your honest sharing and acceptance of alternative views.

@@sharonharlem Are you trying to tell me that she had an Orthodox conversion or her mother is Jewish?

[@sharonharlem]

I asked you a question.

[@davidschalit907]

@@sharonharlem The beginning of the interview was so nauseating with the insanely out the door praise for her that even she was uncomfortable with, so I couldn't watch anymore. Now answer my question...

[@sharonharlem]

I guess if you don’t know the answer, perhaps consider refraining from making declarative statements. an accurate one would be, “She’s not an orthodox Jew”. I won’t speak for her, and while I totally agree the beginning was A Bit Much, the interview overall is well-executed and her story is quite compelling. you and I might not agree on the broad definition of “a Jew”, but, you might gain some insight into others’ lives upon watching. shalom and all the best to you David.

[@starburstsolaris6805]

Let her become a Christian. That will be better for her.
