Friday the Rabbi Slept Late
(The Rabbi Small Mysteries #1)
by Harry Kemelman
7pm Wednesday, April 21st
Please click here to RSVP (appreciated but not required)

​Rabbi David Small, the new leader of Barnard's Crossing's Jewish community, can't even enjoy his Sabbath without things getting stirred up in a most unorthodox manner: It seems a young nanny has been found strangled, less than a hundred yards from the Temple's parking lot -- and all the evidence points to the Rabbi. Add to that the not-so-quiet rumblings of his disgruntled congregation, and you might say our inimitable hero needs a miracle from a Higher Source to save him....

This is a book from the 1950s and we are planning to look at it with an eye to how it inspired Rachie Lewis' new book that we read last month.
