About this listen
A pharmaceutical mishap draws the rabbi into a murder investigation in this New York Times bestseller: “An endearing character … a devious plot” (San Diego Union-Tribune).
New Age thinking has come to Barnard’s Crossing, Massachusetts. The recently elected president of Rabbi David Small’s synagogue is intent on using temple money to build a meditation retreat. The congregation is practicing yoga, buying crystals, and reciting chants. When a troubled young man returns to the town after spending time in a controversial Hasidic cult, the rabbi expects him to be another New Ager. But things take a grisly turn away from new-fangled mantras of peace and love when something terribly old fashioned happens: murder.
An elderly patient dies after being given the wrong medication by the local pharmacist, who coincidentally is also the Hasidic man’s father. When the dead man’s family suggests the mix-up was intentional, both the druggist and his son become suspects and it’s up to Rabbi Small to investigate by drawing on some Old Testament wisdom in a village of New Age fads.

The inimitable Rabbi Small
I am listening to the series for the second time, and have enjoyed them as much as I did the first time. The characters are beautifully drawn, the narrative reflects the time and condition of this small Jewish community, with all the commonplace workings, values and frailties forming the backdrop of the neatly woven murder. Small intertwined threads of complexity are neatly solved by the unlikeliest of heroes, the gentle, unassuming Rabbi Small, using religious critical reasoning, pilpul, to arrive at and explain the solution. Interwoven and elucidated simply throughout the story are elements of the Jewish faith. I find the series - and Rabbi Small - utterly charming.
