In a League of It's Own

This year, 1,000 people attended the Aish Los Angeles Banquet at the Hilton Hotel. This was my fifteenth year producing this event. It was inspirational, entertaining and cutting-edge. Only Aish L.A. with its diverse audience and wide appeal would be able to create such a memorable night for all attendees. The banquet had something for everyone. People were still talking about it a week later.  Aish L.A. has amazing partners that are dedicated to the organization and its goals. Below is a video that I directed for Brad Berger, who was recognized as Partner of the Year.



It is always my goal to create an emotional connection between the honoree and the audience. My mini documentaries introduce the honoree to the audience in a way that is compelling and engaging.

Here are some pictures from the banquet courtesy of Jonah Light Photography.






One of the biggest projects I am currently involved with, is the Kiryat Shemona Foundation and Hesder Yeshiva. We are in the process of creating an image for the Foundation, and its associated Yeshiva in Israel, covering various online platforms. This is a multi-tiered project for Sarah Weintraub Productions and we expect to go live with the new website by the end of October.

Finally we are excited about working with Todat Tzahal (Thank Israeli Soldiers) in Israel. They have three strategic programs created specifically for IDF soldiers at various points of their service. The first one, called "Begin At The Base" is a lecture program connecting soldiers to the Land and to their heritage. The second one, "The Jerusalem Experience" provides an interactive platform in which to connect with the holy city. The final program, "MOMENTUM" is an after-army empowerment program aiding soldiers in their transition from the military back to civilian life.

Stay tuned as more things develop in the near future!
