Sunday the Rabbi Stayed Home

by Harry Kemelman Narrated by George Guidall

Overview

With his absorbing mystery series, best-selling author Harry Kemelman transports you to the closely-knit Jewish community at Barnard's Crossing, a small city near Boston. Sunday the Rabbi Stayed Home portrays the unassuming Rabbi Small joyously preparing to celebrate Passover. However, the holiday season is marred when local violence, racism, and misplaced pride run amok. Miffed over the sanctuary's new seating policy, several families are secretly planning to start their own temple in an unoccupied mansion in the country. When some teenagers break into the house for a party-and one ends up dead-the temple plot is interrupted. Suddenly Rabbi Small must discover what really happened, or the whole community will self-destruct. Savvy Rabbi Small combines earthly chutzpah and divine wisdom to solve the mysterious death that has the entire police force befuddled. Personally approved for this unabridged recording by the author's estate, veteran narrator George Guidall breathes life into the persistent rabbi and his ambitious congregants.

Editorial Reviews

Library Journal

Here are three more installations in the wonderful Rabbi Small mystery series. In Saturday (1966), Small finds himself comforting the widow of a man who apparently committed suicide. Yet once the rabbi begins to look at the facts, he's not so sure the police have drawn the right conclusion. In Sunday (1969), Small again comes to the aid of his congregation when murder unfolds. On Monday (1972), Small takes a trip to Israel, but no matter where he goes, the rabbi seems to land himself in a kosher pickle. The mysteries are always laced with Talmudic law and numerous subplots that connect up at the end. Terrific. Copyright 2003 Cahners Business Information.
