A real hit!

My husband and I both read it and then ordered copies for both of our daughters. We were not sure were the story was going and there is definitely a surprise at the end. A fun and informative read.

From a Christian Perspective

I have read all of the Rabbi Small mysteries, and found this book just as entrancing. These discussions of differences between Judaism and Christianity do not always speak to where I stand Theologically as a Christian, but it is a great comparison. I keep a copy in my office for teens interested in knowing what our differences entail. It's a great conversation starter. I learned a lot, and I am very grateful that I read it. Blessings!

True Insight!

I read this book back in the 80s and was as impressed then with it as I am now. Though it reads like the novel it is, this book is quite the educator for anyone wanting to learn about the differences between Judaism and Christianity. I would use it in the classroom or give it to someone who has questions about their Jewish or Christian neighbors. It is a great read and an even greater study!
