As a discussion of Judaism, this book is interesting; as a narrative, it barely qualifies as fiction. For me, this was fine and even provided some new insights into my chosen religion, but people looking for mystery and developed characters (rather than mouthpieces for various arguments) should look at the other Rabbi Small books. And I know this came out decades ago, but I also have an issue with the rabbi's view that women seeking the right to fully participate at synagogue were doing it because they felt they should be able to, not because they wanted to. I know several women at my synagogue who would say otherwise, and I'd like to think that if the rabbi's wife had been present during that scene, she would've given him what for. I would've! Wise, humorous, clear - explaining Jewish religion; which is pretty different from Christianity. Rabbi Small befriends a young couple hoping to marry and explains the Jewish perspective to the young woman, who wants to convert AND to the young man who is a non-practicing Jew. (I think I have this right. It's been a while since I read it. Still looking for a copy to add to my collection.) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

With Conversations with Rabbi Small, Harry Kemelman adds layers of depth to one of the most beloved characters in contemporary fiction. Rabbi Small's investigative talents and great learning come in handy while he's vacationing in the mountains one June-even though there's no murder to be solved. Faced with performing an emergency conversion, the rabbi must bring his celebrated tenacity and intuition to bear on a different kind of problem. Joan Abernathy has asked Rabbi Small to convert her so she can marry a Jew. The couple's quandary prompts him to delve deep into the philosophy and history of Judaism. As he answers their difficult questions, Rabbi Small realizes it is not Joan whom he must convert. Veteran narrator George Guidall has been personally approved by the author's estate. As you listen to his rich performance, you will find yourself sitting right in the rabbi's rustic cabin, sipping ginger ale, and being drawn inextricably into the fascinating conversation. If you enjoy the rabbi's company, be sure to check out the Rabbi David Small mystery series, available exclusively from Recorded Books, Inc. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Rabbineren David Small og hans kone Miriam er på ferie fra Barnard's Cross og møder et ungt par, Aron og Joan. De diskuterer jødedommen og alt ender i fryd og gammen.
Et noget selvsmagende bog, der ender med selvhyldest om hvordan jøder aldrig kunne finde på at true med at skyde fanger. Her i 2021 nøjes de så med at bombe i Gaza og ødelægge det mediehus, der har kunnet dække konflikten. Det er lidt svært at se forskel på israelsk og arabisk magtanvendelse. ( )
