These post-retirement memoirs of one of New England's leading Reform rabbis critically, humorously, and with searching honesty examine the broad and at times frustrating spectrum of the modern-day Reform rabbinate. Rabbi Silver, the sixth generation in the Silver family's rabbinic line, brings to these memoirs a half-century of rich and diverse experience. He has occupied all the rungs of the rabbinic ladder from an assistant associateship at Congregation Rodef Sholom in Pittsburgh through his solo rabbinate at Pittsburgh's Temple Emanuel of the South Hills, and, for a quarter of a century, Beth Israel, in West Hartford, Connecticut.
