Jewish wisdom on fame, romance and the pursuit of happiness
Hollywood makes a huge impact on our teens.
The primary goal of this new series, “Welcome to Hollywood”, is to challenge Jewish teens to think deeply about issues related to Hollywood culture and to introduce them to Judaism’s perspective on those issues.
This course explores Hollywood culture and values including issues such as fame, rebellion, drugs, love and friendship. Not only is it extremely powerful in its presentation of core Jewish values, but it will also be very attractive to teenagers who are no doubt very interested in – and very heavily influenced by -- Hollywood celebrities and their films.
