Lawrence Kush­n­er has been one of the longest-serv­ing con­gre­ga­tion­al rab­bis in Amer­i­ca, as well as a pro­lif­ic writer. In this book, he reflects on his life and career in the Jew­ish com­mu­ni­ty. Essays cov­er a wide range of sub­jects and give us note­wor­thy insights into syn­a­gogue life, the role of a rab­bi, fam­i­ly life, and Judaism today and tomor­row. While there are a few con­clu­sions that a read­er might chal­lenge, every obser­va­tion is thought­ful and thought-provoking.
