Power, lust, sex, and greed ... even the best can take a fall from grace ... so it happened to Rabbi Dreidel.
He is a promising young Rabbi on the rise in a quiet suburb - building a robust congregation. And yes, he is charming, charismatic, and really knows how to schmooze with both men and women.
But underneath a well-rehearsed veneer of righteousness is a dark side-an unrestrained desire to explore his sexuality with multiple women leading to much indiscretion.
Even in times of #MeToo, in a patriarchal Orthodox community, it's unusual for women to speak out, yet a few brave whistleblowers begin to share their stories. As they do so Rabbi Dreidel scrambles to lawyer up, while rallying his supporters in the community. He is prepared to fight and will go to any length to retain his position and prevent his world from crumbling. Members of a shocked congregation choose sides, leading to a community on the brink of being ripped apart.
Will the rabbi win out? Will the women's stories be heard and believed? And will the community survive? Find out in The Kissing Rabbi.
A satirical novel by Andy Becker-inspired by a true story.
The Kissing Rabbi has won a First Place Chanticleer Mark TwainAward for Humor and Satire.
