"The Hollywood Bible uses our favorite medium -- movies -- explain
deep truths about spirituality and Judaism. Inventive and
effective." -- Rabbi David Wolpe, Max Webb Senior Rabbi, Sinai
Temple, Los Angeles, CA. Author Of Teaching Your Children About
God: A Modern Jewish Approach and Healer Of Shattered Hearts: A
Jewish View Of God
Rabbi Royi Shaffin
"The Hollywood Bible is a delightful and insightful discussion of
how many movies relate to themes in the Bible and later Jewish and
Christian traditions. It thus serves as a wonderful teaching tool
not only for a serious discussion of these religious traditions,
but also for important issues in our lives as a whole."
-- Rabbi Elliot Dorff, PhD. Rector and Distinguished Professor of
Philosophy
American Jewish University, Los Angeles, CA. Author of Matters of
Life and Death: A Jewish Approach to Modern Medical Ethics and A
Living Tree: The Roots and Growth of Jewish Law (with Arthur
Rosett)"Rabbi Royi Shaffin in The Hollywood Bible has chosen the
cinema as an object lesson for theological discussions knowing well
that movie producers often use this popular medium to share their
opinions about the human condition and to question the Divine. The
Jewish influence on the cinema cannot be understated as so much of
what we call 'Hollywood' has been a Jewish industry and as such an
expression of contemporary Jewish thought." -- Reverend Mark
Jenkins,
Media Pastor and Executive Producer of "The Victory Hour," Grove
Avenue Baptist Church, Richmond, Virginia, Executive Producer of "A
Nation Remembers"
