Seven years into Rabbi Vivian’s tenure at Beth Abraham, the congregation’s senior rabbi is finally talking about retirement. But for now, Vivian is still stuck with his priorities...and with the congregants who call him 'the Rabbi.' Beyond the synagogue walls, the city’s Office of Climate Resiliency is facing down some disturbing statistics, and a tech company new to town is building robots to settle Mars - and join Israel’s military. Meanwhile, Vivian’s attempts to steer her congregation’s reactions to all this hardly leave her enough time to address the other big question that’s nagging at her: Should she and her wife try to have a kid? And if so...what makes the perfect sperm donor?  When a multimillion-dollar robot goes missing, and there are only days to find it before a huge hurricane hits Providence, the city - and Beth Abraham - are tested in every way. Both a community macher and a close personal friend of Vivian’s get swept up in the mystery...along with Vivian herself. Who’s really responsible for what happened - and who will be forced to take the blame?  And what will the city, the congregation, and Rabbi Vivian’s life look like in the aftermath of it all?
