What the Cathedral can learn from the Movies

A friend tells me that she and her friends have a Judaism without prayer.  I believe that they do not have a life without the movies.  I believe that movies feed them in a way that the Jewish prayer they know does not.

My advice to the houses of worship of their youth:  What Hollywood does unabashedly, you may too.  A century and more of cleansing Jewish life of ritual, of cultural material, has left so many Jews thirsty for transcendence.  Steven Spielberg obliges--he knows how to provide transcendence.  Here is a Jew who can teach rabbis something.
