Publisher's Synopsis
On a pleasure trip to the holy land, Rabbi David Small looks in on the troubled son of one of Barnard's Crossing's favourite grocers, the Goodmans. A confused young man, Jordan Goodman has embraced the extreme ideas of a controversial Jewish group and becomes strictly orthodox in observance.
But Jordan's newfound beliefs lead him to perform an act of dubious heroism that leads to a murder charge. Thankfully, Rabbi Small is around to give even Israeli security a valuable lesson in age-old talmudic logic and good American know-how.
