The Rabbi David Small books are mysteries, but are also treatises about the Jewish faith. We learn a lot about the life of a rabbi and the Temple and its congregants. Written in 1969, I shouldn‘t have been surprised that there was some racist content, but it struck a sour note. The rabbi speaks out against it, unsurprisingly, and that helps some. I didn‘t like this one as much as the first 2, but I‘ll probably continue with the series.
