Summary:

In June the Rabbi went on vacation...only to find himself unraveling a mystery as old as time itself. The girl appeared, unannounced, at his cabin door. Would the Rabbi convert her to Judaism, she has asked. It was vital to her forthcoming marriage. And so began Rabbi Small's investigation into the magic, the mysticism, the truths and the fables of the world's oldest religion. Shot through with tension, conflict, humor and wisdom, Conversations with Rabbi Small is a richly woven tapestry of past and present beliefs that Jews and non-Jews will find meaningful, thought-provoking, and more than a bit surprising. Told in the form of a novel, this insightful and sensitive book will be accessible to a large audience, from young people to adults.
