Book excerpt: Film critic Rabbi Herbert J. Cohen views films as potential life lessons, and defines a "kosher movie" as one that has something valuable to say about the human condition. In this survey spanning many genres, Cohen presents films as tools for self-discovery and for navigating challenges of life. What do romantic comedies really say about love? What can Mad Max teach us about the value of time? What parenting lessons can we learn from The Secret Life of Pets? Exploring more than 100 stand-out movies from the past 30 years, Cohen shares inspiring personal anecdotes about self-growth, relationships, parenting, aging, dealing with adversity and more."A harmonious convergence of faith and art." - Senator Joseph Lieberman"It's like Chicken Soup for the Soul meets Roger Ebert."- Vincent Coppola, former Newsweek writer and noted author"Rabbi Cohen is clearly a movie fan. His passion and insight, discovering moral values beyond what may have been intended is a refreshing spin on the typical film critique."- Steve Posen, movie producer
