Tales of Unkosher Souls

Angebote / Angebote:

This is an assortment of short stories about Jewish people who want to believe in a God but like many of us, they just can't take that leap of faith. As they stumble through their lives making one mistake after another, they wonder if their souls will reach heaven-if such a place exists. And then what? In "God's Sabbatical, " a poor autistic soul arrives in the afterworld and is bunked in a five by five-inch cubicle. He's told that God is on vacation, and there's an inexperienced bureaucrat running the place. In another story, "Ruthie the Dinosaur Eats the Forbidden Fruit" a nurturing mamasaur (an unknown species) repents, I'm honestly sorry for my mistake, but after all, it was only a piece of fruit and not so good-tasting. In the last story, a talking raven proclaims that Death isn't fair. All the stories are imbued with an ironic sense of humor that I inherited from my grandfather who left the shtetl when he was 18 years old. This book will have a wide audience, anyone who enjoyed "Fiddler on the Roof, " or actually fiddled on a roof, will want to read this book.Tales of Unkosher Souls has received a Kirkus starred review!
