A clever and engaging work of detective fiction, Saturday the Rabbi Went Hungry is the second novel in Harry Kemelman's beloved Rabbi David Small mystery series. Set in the fictional New England town of Barnard's Crossing, the story unfolds on Yom Kippur — the Jewish Day of Atonement — when Rabbi Small is drawn into investigating a suspicious death that the police are ready to write off as an accident. Kemelman masterfully weaves together Talmudic reasoning and small-town politics, using the rabbi's sharp intellect and deep religious knowledge as the tools of detection. The novel is as much a warm portrait of Jewish-American community life as it is a satisfying whodunit, balancing wit, wisdom, and suspense in equal measure.
