KEREN’S CORNER
Occupation: Actor/Rabbi
Our “Only in Hollywood” moment of the week comes care of an unusual pairing: ABC’s “Gray’s Anatomy” and Temple Israel of Hollywood (TIOH). Sunday night, May 15, the TV medical drama airs an episode titled “Save Me,” which stars TIOH Rabbi Michelle Missaghieh as a rabbi counseling an Orthodox girl. Of course, Missaghieh isn’t ordained Orthodox – she can’t be, because she’s a woman. While she asked that a scene be added to tie up this loose end, in typical Hollywood fashion, it wound up on the cutting-room floor, the Forward reported. Missaghieh told them she’s still happy to have been given such a platform in which to represent Judaism and the comfort rabbis can give to those in crisis.
