Turning to the ancient set of ethics of his Orthodox grandfather, with a modern twist, he becomes a Reform rabbi. As insecure and sexually needy as any other young male, he serves as a circuit-rider rabbi in the Ozarks, and then as a temple rabbi in the racially ugly South, in a San Francisco suburb, in a Pennsylvania college town, and finally, in a New England community west of Boston. Along the way he falls deeply in love with and marries the daughter of a Congregational minister; she converts to Judaism and they have two complex, interesting children. Noah Gordon's picture of a brilliant and talented religious counselor--who at times is as bereft and uncertain as any of his congregants--is a deeply moving and very satisfying novel.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50101873115359,"sku":"9798337202662","price":40.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/71A3uUiMBg9798337202662.webp?v=1781075801"}],"url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/collections\/noah-gordon.oembed","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
