God's Ear

You don't have to be Jewish to love Rabbis. If you have never read Rhoda Lerman, you really should. God's Ear delves into the depths of Orthodox Judaism in the context of an amazing father and son relationship. Highly comedic, deeply spiritual. Yussel's dying father begs him to come west from New York and his excellent insurance business to take over his father's rattrap synagogue. The last thing Yussel wants is to be a rabbi and experience the pain of his father's congregration. The temptations (a gorgeous redhead) of the world drive Yussel to feel the pain of others and ultimately to secure a place in heaven for his father. You can read Lerman on various levels: humor and story; language or history. All of Lerman's novels carry the same weight in terms of the type of indepth subject matter research as well as amazing language. She has a great ability to play with the origins and connections of words. Although her novels are considered fiction, you can learn a lot! Happy Reading and Laughing.
