Product Description

Book Description

David Small, America's favorite rabbi -- and most unorthodox sleuth -- is back again in his best mystery yet.

Somewhere between the Passover service and a plot to unseat part of his congregation, Rabbi David Small finds himself caught up with some very non-kosher characters in a baffling case of murder, marijuana, and militants. A superb blend of hair-splitting logic and hair-raising suspense, the Rabbi's new adventure is indisputable entertainment.



Ingram

On Sunday, Rabbi David Small uncovers a Passover plot that undeniably raises more than Four Questions--threatening to ruin not only his holiday but his role as leader of Barnard's Crossing's Jewish community as well. And then, all the facts begin to point to murder! Reissue. --This text refers to an alternate Mass Market Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Will the rabbi solve the crime?, Mar 22 2003
By Michael J. Mazza (Pittsburgh, PA USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
"Sunday the Rabbi Stayed Home," by Harry Kemelman, is a fascinating crime story featuring a ... rabbi as its hero. David Small is the rabbi of the synagogue in the "Yankee town" of Barnard's Crossing. As the book opens the rabbi is caught up in a political power struggle within his own congregation. But the situation gets even stickier when a crime is committed and the rabbi is drawn into the investigation. Illegal [substance] trade and racial prejudice complicate the matter.

This is a really fun read. Kemelman has a very engaging writing style, and the smart, stubborn Rabbi Small is a marvelous character. There is occasional dated language ...but overall the book really holds up.

The story offers a really intriguing look at a Jewish community and specifically at life within the synagogue. A number of interesting issues are raised--the role of the synagogue in society, the role of the rabbi, etc. A good book not only for lovers of crime fiction but also for those interested in Jewish-American studies.
