Writer Sam Wasson is reissuing the 1931 novel 'Rabbi Burns' in response to the controversy surrounding the Academy Museum's exhibit on Hollywood's Jewish founders. The book, a satire by Aben Kandel, follows a Los Angeles rabbi who considers entering the movie business. Wasson's reissue aims to address the criticism and interpretation of Jewishness in Hollywood. The decision to publish the novel was inspired by the outcry from the Jewish community over the museum's exhibit.
