| ANGEL, MARC D. But Who Am I, And Who Are My People?: A Rabbi's Reflections On The Rabbinate And The Jewish Community. Ktav Publishing House, Hoboken: 2001. Hardcover with dustjacket. Very good condition. The world at large knows almost nothing about the life and work of a rabbi: the diverse responsibilities and obligations, the many stresses and pressures, the conflicting demands for time, energy and sympathetic understanding, the insistent public causes and private needs that demand intervention and compete for attention. Indeed, much of what rabbis do is unknown even to members of their own congregations. This book is a compelling and informative attempt to address such matters. ¶ 181 pages.

| ANGEL, MARC. The Search Committee: A Novel. Urim Fiction, Jerusalem/New York / Lambda, Brooklyn: 2008. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. When the leader of a venerable Torah academy passes away, a search committee begins to investigate two candidates, both serious serious and committed Torah scholars. However, the resemblance ends there. One, the previous leader's son, is a staunch traditionalist determined to keep to the old ways, while the other is a university graduate with a modern, open-minded perspective. The candidates hold opposing views about the role of the yeshiva, the ideals of Torah Judaism, the role of women in the community, and the future of Orthodoxy and the Jewish people. As they, their wives, colleagues, students, and donors address the Committee, a dramatic story emerges about the ways in which a traditional community may embrace or reject the modern world. Marc Angel's The Search Committee should be required reading of every divinity student as well as anyone interested in the future of our pluralistic culture. - Dr. Ezra Cappell, Assistant Professor, University of Texas and author of American Talmud: The Cultural Work of Jewish American Fiction ¶ 155 pages.
