About the book: 2004 / In the nineteenth century, Rabbi Israel Salanter of Vilna said: “A rabbi who is not driven out of the city is not a rabbi; and a rabbi who allows himself to be driven away is not a man.” There's another conflict in the Barnard's Crossing community; Rabbi Small, as always, standing above the fray, under threat of dismissal... And then there is murder, marijuana, the Negro issue and human rights... Rabbi Small brilliantly proves that he is a real rabbi and a real man.
