Descending from a long line of revered rabbis, Yakov is expected to follow in his father's footsteps as the leader of an ultra-Orthodox community in Brooklyn. But for Yakov, who questions his faith from an early age, becoming a rabbi is more an obligation than a calling. One summer, he discovers love in Rebecca, a young woman who challenges both his beliefs and his doubts. All too quickly, a family secret tears them apart and their lives diverge. Confused and curious, Yakov pursues a secular education alongside his rabbinical training. A chance encounter reunites him with Rebecca, who he learns is also studying to become a rabbi. His relationship with her blooms as he and his father continue to drift. But what will become of his relationship with God? This 20th anniversary re-release of Rabbi, Rabbi, Kane's debut novel, is a masterfully written, deeply engrossing portrait of modern American Judaism. Now more than ever, Kane's intimate prose will move any reader who has ever struggled with the complexities of faith, family, love, and personal identity.
