Minyan

by Alan Gold

In the modern world the old traditions are declining - and so is attendance at Rabbi Teichmann's Friday-night sermon. But the rabbi has a plan to win back his congregation, and prove that real faith can embrace both the old and the new. Instigating a tradition that will grow beyond his expectations, the rabbi weaves a simple, entertaining tale around his listeners that resonates with meaning. Soon the rabbi finds that his congregants are not just talented listeners, and stories of universal experience and the meaning of life begin to take hold of both audience and reader alike.

Reviews

[Andrew Blitz · Rating 4 out of 5]

Beautifully written stories and a joy to read. It ended abruptly without any way of resolving the last dilemma posed.

[Dev · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book was odd. There wasn't much of a storyline; it felt like the storyline that was there was just an excuse to tell stories. Also, either the book ends abruptly and thus unsatisfactory or the Audible cuts out at the end.

[Jack · Rating 3 out of 5]

Insightful, with a good narrative technique.
