Saturday the Rabbi Went Hungry
Saturday the Rabbi Went Hungry | Harry Kemelman
2 posts | 4 read | 5 to read
Rabbi Small returns in this New York Times–bestselling novel to investigate a mysterious death on the Day of Atonement The day before Yom Kippur, the synagogue sound system is on the blink, the floral arrangements are in disarray, and a member of Rabbi David Small’s congregation—in the Massachusetts town of Barnard’s Crossing—is terribly concerned with how much a Torah weighs. The rabbi is determined not to let these mundane concerns ruin his day of prayer and contemplation. But the holiest day of the Jewish year is interrupted when a member of the congregation is found dead in his car. Details emerge that suggest the man may have killed himself, but the rabbi’s wife suspects murder. Which is it? Rabbi Small kicks into high detective gear to find out. His search for the culprit among the small town’s cast of eccentric characters leads to nail-biting suspense in this highly entertaining and engrossing mystery.

This is the 2nd Rabbi Small mystery and it is just as much fun as the 1st. I guess you could consider it a cozy mystery? Nothing really awful seems to happen in them, well, except for the dead person, but they don‘t seem especially gruesome. Also, I love the lessons about Judaism. And I love Rabbi Small and his wife, Miriam. This was a pallet cleanser during my #litsypartyofone Party on, Littens. 🎈🎉
