 | | Whichever you choose, they’re all past now, so if you’d like to enjoy a lazy summer afternoon with a book, here are some suggestions to consider. |
 | | In “Friday the Rabbi Slept Late” (Fawcett, 1966) a dead woman’s handbag is found in Small’s car, and in “Saturday the Rabbi Went Hungry” he is involved in a controversy when he allows a supposed suicide to be buried in the Jewish cemetery. |
 | | What makes the novels enjoyable for people interested in religion, though, is the information about Judaism the author painlessly provides along the way, like why rabbis shouldn’t be considered “clergy” or why few Jews are alcoholics. |
