Need Sermon Help?
Diana helped me arrange and edit my sermons to polish them, while still allowing me to keep them in my own voice. When it was way too long and I felt too connected to chop it up myself, she helped me determine what to cut and how to reorganize my thoughts for the best impact with the least amount of words. She helped turn a strong sermon into a phenomenal one. One lay leader even said my Rosh Hashanah sermon this year was the best sermon they’ve heard from any rabbi, ever. What a compliment! Diana helped me get there.
Rabbi Samantha O. Kahn - Senior Associate RabbiDiana helped my sermons go from good to great. She took the time to listen to me, what I wanted to accomplish and helped me find my strongest voice. Having someone else help polish and edit, allowed me the gift of spending energy on other High Holy Day tasks. I now can't imagine writing a HHD sermon without her expertise.
