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,[2] and the first Asian-American to be ordained as a hazzan (cantor) anywhere in the world.[3][4][5][6][7] In 2011 she was named by Newsweek and The Daily Beast as one of America's "Most Influential Rabbis",[8] and in 2012 by The Daily Beast as one of America's "Top 50 Rabbis".[9] Buchdahl was recognized as one of the top five in The Forward's 2014 "Forward Fifty", a list of American Jews who had the most impact on the national scene in the previous year.[10]
