Episode description

Just remember what they taught you in grade school: When you're public speaking, just imagine everyone's pants are down... That trick never worked did it? Public speaking is hard. Giving a sermon to a high-expecting congregation is harder.  Rabbi Daniel Steinberg is no stranger to the difficulty of trying to inspire and emotionally elevate a crowd. Being very familiar with the film industry, sales, and Jewish needs within a community, Steinberg teaches Chaz Volk the fundamentals of speaking to a Jewish crowd. Tune in to learn how to engage and communicate with the broader Jewish community.  00:00 Introduction 05:39 Existential doubts 09:42 Speaking to needs 12:04 Ethos, Pathos, and Logos behind Bad Jew 14:40 Commandments 16:48 Stand-up comic's connection to audience reactions 22:48 Unexpected movie sparks discussion about Zionism symbolism 25:12 Public speaking is about authenticity, not polish. 27:19 Conclusion About Rabbi Daniel Steinberg: It's true. I was an intern for SNL, wrote for Howard Stern, & spent 2 years performing stand-up comedy in NYC and San Francisco clubs before moving to Palo Alto, CA to pursue a career in community outreach & Jewish education. After 6 years of community-building work, I assumed the role of Marketing Director for a start-up co-founded by Alan Dershowitz. I then went on to start a digital marketing & e-commerce consultancy, where my innovative storytelling & copywriting skills helped my ​clients earn upwards of $1MM in yearly revenue.  These days, I draw on my eclectic experiences in the worlds of entertainment, education and marketing to help rabbis find their authentic voice, craft meaningful Drashos & build strong relationships with their congregations.
