    About this audiobook

    From Friday the Rabbi Slept Late to Thursday the Rabbi Walked Out, the best-selling Rabbi David Small series follows the perceptive small town rabbi through every challenging day of the week. Now David Small steps beyond his daily responsibilities to face issues in the congregation and community that threaten to destroy his career. The beloved president of the temple is resigning. A new president is chosen: a prominent businessman who is used to being obeyed. It's not long before the rabbi's adherence to tradition clashes with the new president's requests. Meanwhile, a young man in Rabbi Small's congregation has been arrested in a fatal hit-and-run accident. Can the rabbi maintain his position in the temple while helping the young man? Much depends on good luck. Narrator George Guidall provides the perfect voice for the thoughtful, careful rabbi. He captures each strand of humor, intellect, and tension that Kemelman weaves so deftly throughout the Rabbi Small mysteries.

    Harry Kemelman

    Harry Kemelman (1908–1996) was best known for his popular rabbinical mystery series featuring the amateur sleuth Rabbi David Small. Kemelman wrote twelve novels in the series, the first of which, Friday the Rabbi Slept Late, won the Edgar Award for Best First Novel. This book was also adapted as an NBC made-for-TV movie, and the Rabbi Small Mysteries were the inspiration for the NBC television show Lanigan’s Rabbi. Kemelman’s novels garnered praise for their unique combination of mystery and Judaism, and with Rabbi Small, the author created a protagonist who played a part-time detective with wit and charm. Kemelman also wrote a series of short stories about Nicky Welt, a college professor who used logic to solve crimes, which were published in a collection entitled The Nine Mile Walk. Aside from being an award-winning novelist, Kemelman, originally from Boston, was also an English professor.

      Either this one wasn't as good as I remembered the others to be or I've outgrown his appeal. I think I enjoyed learning more about Judaism when I first read these 20+ years ago, but I just found this to be so dated and the rabbi to be such an insufferable pompous jerk in this one that I really didn't enjoy it.

      [Someday the Rabbi will Leave] I liked the look at small town politics in this one. There is also young women tentatively finding their way away from their mom's traditional roles.
