Meet "America's #1 Rabbi"
Rabbi David Wolpe will be in town next week for the American Jewish Press Association's annual national conference — he's the keynote speaker at the Simon Rockower Awards reception and dinner — and both events are open to the public. The Rockower reception, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Wednesday June 16, at the Scottsdale Hilton Resort & Villas, 6333 N. Scottsdale Rd., is $35.
For $115, you can attend the reception, plus the dinner and keynote, from 7:30 to 10 p.m. that same evening at the Hilton.
This is one you won't want to miss.
In case you are not aware of Wolpe's rock-star status in the American Jewish firmament, I've pasted in his bio below (from huffingtonpost.com). You might also like to know that he was named one of The Forward's Forward 50, as well as one of the hundred most influential people in Los Angeles by Los Angeles magazine. He has publicly debated Christopher Hitchens on God, been the focus of international controversy after giving a Passover sermon that discussed the historic validity of the Exodus from Egypt, and written candidly and movingly about battling cancer.
Mitch Albom, author of "Tuesdays with Morrie" and "The Five People You Meet in Heaven," called Wolpe's most recent book "a stirring case for the fullness of a life with belief and the emptiness of life without it."
Here's a link to some of Wolpe's writing, on the PBS website:

And here's the bio:
"Named the #1 Rabbi in America by Newsweek magazine, David Wolpe is the Rabbi of Sinai Temple in Los Angeles, California.
