Saturday the Rabbi Went Hungry

I appreciate the thoughtful talmudic process in these mysteries, but you know how your middle school English teacher instructed you to “show, don't tell”? Kemelman missed that lesson. The reliance on overly long and detailed explanations and back stories pulls the reader out of the story.

So much theology in a mystery

The mystery is solved very cleverly but the real story is in the explanation of Jewish traditions.. I have learned a great deal.
