My very talented friends have just released the sequel to "The Fruitfly Rabbi," an enjoyable read for synagogue libraries, for the adult section.
*“The Rabbi’s in Trouble:” A Great Summer Read* Readers have eagerly awaited the sequel to the engrossing and entertaining novel, “Fruitfly Rabbi,” and they won’t be disappointed. This new book, “The Rabbi’s in Trouble,” follows neophyte Rabbi Joshua Stein as he continues to navigate the never-ending complications and surprises he encounters at Congregation Lev Shalom, a prestigious synagogue in Chicago, Illinois. There’s plenty of mystery, romance and revelation, as Stein interacts with a cast of quirky characters. Let me mention town gossip Kalman, shalom-promoting Elijah Dalton, high-maintance Rachel, and dream-world-resident Kayla, to give a mere sample. Although the authors claim that all their characters are fictitious, their observations are right-on, and one gets a real sense of a rabbi’s world. The fact that Rabbi Stein is young and unmarried offers additional opportunities for plot twists and turns. The authors, Chana Shapiro and Meta Miller, are no strangers to the intricacies of synagogue life. Chana Shapiro is a writer, illustrator and popular columnist at the Atlanta Jewish Times, with four decades of hands-on experience in Jewish organizations. Meta Miller is a former rebbitzen, honored Jewish educator and mentor. Their insight, empathy and humor are evident in both of their books, which are fun to read and thoroughly enjoyable separately, as well as in sequence. Book clubs, this one’s for you! The Rabbi’s in Trouble” (and its prequel, “Fruitfly Rabbi”) can be purchased in paperback or Kindle versions from Amazon books. In Atlanta, books can be purchased at Judaica Corner and Tall Tales Bookstore. .SIncerely, Evi Reznick books2g...@gmail.com
