From AudioFile

Rabbi David Small spends summer vacation in Jerusalem with Miriam, his wife. Naturally, he's drawn into trouble when he looks up the Goodmans' son, who has hooked up with a born-again Jewish sect and who is implicated in the murder of an American professor. Kemelman's novels are much more than mysteries. They are like Fabergé eggs--polished, vivid, and filled with stunning detail that reveals Jewish life, culture, and religion. George Guidall is the perfect reader. He appreciates the rabbi's dry sense of humor, his scholarship, and his desire to mind his own business. Guidall's subtle voicing conveys the colorful characters in Kemelman's Rabbi Small novels with accuracy, a sense of appreciation, and a chuckle.

This review is from: One Fine Day the Rabbi Bought a Cross (Hardcover)
6/6/04 Although the "Rabbi"'s section on how where, why and how he & his wife decided to vacation in Israel were 'not the better part of the book' ,the 'plot of the mystery' was good(since the book is separated in several chapters into scenario re 'the Arab' vs scenario re 'the Rabbi')...copyright in 1987, the book unfolds 1. that the CIA,FBI also are not the only "big brothers watching" especially in melting pots such as the USA where all groups formed on their "commonality" try to keep an eye on the going ons of "those whom they prejudice to or paranoid of" with networks for "et al" outside the country for their reporting such finding,as one of author Harry Kemmelman's character states near the book's beginning "they didn't have to evaluate info,just gather it"; 2. of the ways possible that weapons are gotten into various sections of the world,and used often not by those who they were originally intended for and how an innocent person who has nothing to do with "foreign intrigue" ,turns out to be the victim(in this case the victim ,an American college professor,who naively agrees to deliver a letter (the letter has a map showing the whereabouts of 'a ton of weapons')accidently dies, in the course of events);he dies of as he had called the Dx on him in patientlayterms "Triple A" ('AAA' for Aneurysm of the Abdominal Aorta)ascerbated by being gagged and tied in the foreign land.The book leaves no questions unanswered about the Sabbaths in Israel ; (Fri-Muslim;Saturday:Israeli(Jerusalem) & Jews(Tel Aviv);Sunday:Christians),all whom must take a day off to observe one of the 3 days as "their Sabbath"....also that the weapons when found are given away vs being fought for(with no strings attached !).

4.0étoiles sur 5 An absorbing mystery, Aoû 24 2000
Par Leonard R Budney (Springdale, PA USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: One Fine Day the Rabbi Bought a Cross: A Rabbi Small Mystery (Mass Market Paperback)
This Rabbi Small mystery is truly absorbing; I couldn't put it down. It's not only a mystery novel, but partly a spy thriller: you get two for the price of one. Rabbi Small and his wife spend the summer in Israel, where a professor from their home town is murdered and a boy from their home town (now attending Yeshiva in Israel) is blamed. The murder, it turns out, is connected with a Druze conspiracy to steal a PLO weapons cache--which naturally brings the Mossad and Shin Bet into the picture. Simply gripping.

At the same time, Harry Kemelman tries to use Rabbi Small as a foil to discuss the state of modern Judaism. He explains the Jewish customs which come up in his novel, by making Small explain them to his gentile friends--or argue about them with other Jews. And he doesn't just explain; he opines: Kemelman lets you know just what he thinks of ultra-orthodoxy, the "born again" baal-tshuvah movement, and a few other hot issues in modern judaism. American Jews especially are likely to enjoy the "home town" feel of the Rabbi Small mysteries.

Non-Jews may find it eye-opening to catch the glimpses of Jewish culture, religion and ethics. As a tiny example, Small reminds his wife not to appear interested at an Israeli shop, because it would be wrong to raise the shopkeeper's hopes and then dash them. In addition, there are all the other issues mentioned above.

Kemelman's explanations are at least as important as his plot, and there is a fair bit of it. You may find that a touch heavy-handed, but I think that Kemelman pulls it off pretty well. The book is really a gripping whodunit.

Even better, it's the rare sort of whodunit with a complicated enough plot to keep your attention. Turning to the end won't help you; the mystery is solved, but there remain a few unanswered questions "for reasons of national security". I think that adds a satisfying realism.
