It’s not uncommon for a speaker to really come alive during a question and answer session with the audience. That was the case on October 4th, 2009 when Rabbi Capers Funnye addressed a group of about 200 people at a
talk presented by the Center for Jewish Life at the Osher Marin JCC in San Rafael, California. Rabbi Funnye is the Associate Director of Bechol Lashon and Spiritual Leader of Beth Sholom B’nai Zaken Ethiopian Hebrew Congregation in Chicago. Rabbi Funnye happens to be African American and the first cousin of First Lady Michelle Obama. He was profiled earlier this year in a NY Times Magazine piece entitled “Obama’s Rabbi”. In this episode of JEWISH THOUGHT LEADERS, Rabbi Funnye speaks about discovering Judaism and why he has chosen this challenging path for his life.
