Description: Rabbi Sam tells the story of a zealot who wants to reinvent Judaism and who will stop at nothing to do it. Sam Isaac, a high-powered New York tax attorney-turned-rabbi, takes up his first pulpit at a suburban congregation in northern California. Some people are thrilled by his vision of a 21st-century American Judaism. Others don't trust him, and a power struggle ensues, and a fearless political animal working overtime to round up the votes that he hopes will save his job. Suspenseful, moving, and funny, Rabbi Sam bursts with ideas about religion, science, and how human institutions deal with change.
