The Hollywood Rabbi

How does the child of immigrants, raised on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, become Frank Sinatra’s personal rabbi, win two Academy Awards, and mingle with four kings, three popes, eight presidents and a who’s who of Hollywood royalty while dedicating his life to healing the world through tolerance? This film tells the oversized story of the oversized Rabbi Marvin Hier – founder of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, one of the most influential rabbis in America, and a mix of P.T. Barnum and Louis B. Mayer … in a yarmulke.

Featuring interviews with Arnold Schwarzenegger, President Bill Clinton, Billy Crystal, and more, The Hollywood Rabbi is a call to action for decency and kindness, with its remarkable subject leading by example.
