Tales Out Of Shul

We’ll deal with the mystery of the missing mechitzah, attend a reception where the poor are the guests of honor, and devise Hebrew names for Butch and Nicholas. And we’ll enter the rabbi’s mind as he ponders if he is really accomplishing anything for Torah and Judaism in this world.
Few books offer such revealing insights into human nature and contemporary Jewish history, and do it with such wit and perception.
