THE SEARCH COMMITTEE
Published by Urim Publications

Join us for a reading, book signing and reception.

15 West 16th Street, NYC

 

A powerful story about two rabbinical scholars who seek to become head of a leading Lithuanian-type Yeshiva. The novel unfolds as a series of presentations to the Search Committee—by the candidates, their wives, colleagues, students, and philanthropic supporters. The struggle is not just between two men, but between two very different views of Judaism, Torah education, modernity, the role of women, and freedom of thought and expression.

“A fascinating novel by the Rabbi Emeritus of America’s most
distinguished Sephardic congregation.  Through the story of two
very different men, both vying to lead a prestigious Talmudic academy,
the author leads us with breathtaking insight through the maze of religion
and politics that is at the heart of the Orthodox Jewish world…
a true contribution to Jewish-American literature.”
      --Naomi Ragen, author of Jephte’s Daughter and The Saturday Wife

Free for ASF members and and members of the Institute for Jewish Ideas and Ideals;
