Love love love love love. enjoyed the heck out of this. i hope it gets a wider audience than it probably will based on its niche nature and the small press publisher. i would make everyone read it if i could, just delightful from cover to cover.

A thoughtful, well-written, and absorbing story about a Black Orthodox Jewish Rabbi. Definitely would recommend. The characters are complex and layered, and it does a great job of presenting a Black Jewish perspective that is empowering and authentic (that the author is, himself, a Black Jewish Rabbi obviously helps) without ever devolving into romanticism or hero worship. Strongly recommend.
