On a trip to the Holy Land, Rabbi Small is drawn into a deadly conflict between religious extremists in the New York Times–bestselling series.

Retired millionaire Barney Berkowitz, from the small Massachusetts town of Barnard’s Crossing, invites Rabbi David Small to come to Israel and bar mitzvah him, as Berkowitz never went through the ceremony in his youth. On what should be a joyous occasion—and an all-expenses-paid trip to the Holy Land—the rabbi discovers danger lurking in every corner and a conspiracy that threatens to destroy the state of Israel.

An innocent American has been murdered and when the sleuthing rabbi begins his investigation, he finds the death may have been part of an international conspiracy fueled by religious radicals and an arms-smuggling scheme. Anyone, from a liberal Jewish-American professor to a young religious fundamentalist, could be a suspect—and the rabbi must rely on his Talmudic logic and daring chutzpah to untangle the mystery and prevent an even more deadly attack.

Rabbi Small does it again. Well crafted and paced. Thoroughly enjoyable. Can’t wait to read the next in the series.

Amazing addition to the series.

General structure is same as most Rabbi Small novels but I found the plot more interesting than usual. An enjoyable experience.

One of the Best Rabbi Small Stories

While downsizing my bookcase, I took 7 paperbacks of the Rabbi Small series to a used bookstore. I immediately regretted it until I bought this Audible edition. The narration is very good and kept me interested in the details that I missed when I read the book. This is one time I like the Audible better than the printed book and that is rare for me!

I had read the initial day-of-the-week books in this series in hard copy many years ago. They are all gentle stories without being "Romance" novels. Since George Guidell is among my favorite five narrators I decided to give the audio version a try. I was not disappointed in either the novel or the reader.

Love this series

In this book our introvert rabbi keeps asking questions in spite of what seems obvious to Israeli police, irrelevant to Shin Bet and rude to visiting members of his congregation.

Rabbi Small and a diverse cast enliven intricate puzzle in the Holy Land.

This is a great little series about human beings and their weaknesses. Rabbi David Smalls is
a small town rabbi but often, due to circumstances, becomes rabbi to strangers and the world.
The author, Harry Kemelman, knows his subject well, and know how to write the human experience.
I wish there were many more of these books.
