Approximately 20 rabbis from Los Angeles and beyond participated in “Punching Up Your Holiday Sermons,” a workshop that paired rabbis with screenwriters to help them become more engaging.
Lisa Albert (“Mad Men”), David Israel (“3rd Rock From the Sun”) and David N. Weiss (“The Smurfs”) were among the eight writers participating in the workshop, part of the Board of Rabbis of Southern California’s annual High Holy Days Seminar, which took place at Stephen S. Wise Temple on Aug. 16.
“I view the world of rabbis and the world of filmmaking as very similar — you have to tell a story,” said Rabbi Jonathan Hanish, a Board of Rabbis executive committee member who came up with the idea for the workshop. “And if you can tell a story, you can reach people.”
