Andrew Becker writes with humor and considerable charm. TheKissing Rabbi is a wholly original novel that will leave readerswanting more from Becker. Five stars.Gregg Olsen, New York Times bestselling author
So you want to hear the real story of Rabbi Mishegas Dreidel?The whole schmeer is a story as old as Jerusalem and as new astoday’s politics. The young rabbi, his wife, and nine kids showup in Destiny, Oregon filled with missionary zeal. He opens asynagogue in their basement, builds his flock, earns its trust,borrows a million dollars from a friendly banker for a toweringhouse of worship, and off he goes to repair the world.Part of that mission includes unwanted advances with women ofthe temple, questionable synagogue financial dealings kept secret,and a steadfast refusal to admit anything done wrong. This storyis told with just the right touch of satire, humor, insight,and the hope it won’t happen again.Bob Hill, Award-winning Louisville Courier-Journalcolumnist and authorWith a wry sense of humor and colorful cast of characters(in fact, you probably know people like them), Becker dissects thelamentable fall from grace of a well-intended shepherd turnedwolf. A witty and timely parable that keeps you wondering howsome people never seem to learn from their mistakes.Entertaining and reflective.Larry Fowler, Award winning author
The Kissing Rabbi humorously shines a light on a dark and heavysubject—narcissistic abuse by a religious authority figure. This storyis a real page-turner and very relatable—highly recommended!Yitz Epstein, Life coach and host, Narcissism Recovery Podcast
