About this listen

As he counsels a woman considering conversion to Judaism, Rabbi Small takes a break from murder mysteries to discuss the mysteries of his religion.

In Conversations with Rabbi Small, the rabbi finds himself taking a well-deserved vacation at a Jewish retreat in the mountains, where he reads, plays cards, and furthers his studies, which have been languishing for too long. When the rabbi’s wife is called back to the city to deal with an illness in the family, the rabbi meets a curious young woman in the midst of a life-changing moment.

Joan is a gentile who is about to marry a Jewish man, and she is desperate for answers as she determines whether or not to convert to her betrothed’s religion.

In Rabbi Small, she finds an ideal teacher. In a series of impassioned conversations, the rabbi guides her through the ancient mysteries and wonders of Judaism, giving guidance to both her and her husband-to-be. With humor and compassion, the rabbi shares the history, beliefs, and traditions that have linked Jewish people across the world for millennia.

This was the best in all the series, once again Rabbi Small brings his formidable knowledge and understanding to solve what appears to be an insoluble problem. For those anxiously wondering who will be murdered, the answer is no one.

Nevertheless, this book is really addictive as we weave our way through the conversations with Miriam, Joan Aaron, Jane, Aaron's parents and Joan's father.

No, I refuse to say anymore because I don't want to spoil it for you. Just sit back and listen.
