8:00 PM Inspiration Session: “Exodus, the Dark Knight and Being a Jewish Superhero”
In this riveting exploration of Jewish scholarship and sages—Torah, Talmud and Marvel; Esther, Rabbi Akiva and Stan Lee—Gorf reveals the most inspirational Jewish hero of all: yourself.
JORDAN B. GORFINKEL (aka “Gorf”) is a cartoonist, musician, producer, director, and proud father (not necessarily in that order). For nearly a decade, Gorf managed a team of writers, artists, and creators on the Batman franchise for DC Comics. Gorf’s creations have resulted in critically acclaimed and commercially successful publications, film, television series, games, merchandise, and more. Gorf founded and operates Avalanche Comics Entertainment (“ACE”), a dynamic storytelling studio. Gorf is the Creator/Writer/Producer of the Amazon #1 Bestseller Passover Haggadah Graphic Novel (with Koren Publications). The beautiful and functional full-length narrative art version of the traditional Passover Seder table guide book engages people of all backgrounds and faiths in the universal stories and rituals of slavery and freedom.
