THE CANTOR SANG OFF-KEY

About the Book

What happens at synagogue doesn’t always stay at synagogue. This lively tale of a cantor and her congregation provides a second look at the Reform Jewish world. At Temple Beth Shalom, Brunhild takes you inside the life of well-respected Cantor Abbey Rosen, thrown into the tangled ethical web involving temple finance manager, Willard Lubarsky. Lubarsky’s own insatiable sexual desires cause him more grief than he ever imagined, and it all comes back to haunt him in an explosive conclusion. Brunhild builds tension at the temple as well as the Lubarsky household, as Willard’s deceit and reckless ways involve him with the underworld and Cantor Rosen in a most unlikely scenario . You’ll cheer for other characters such as Charlie Hammer, who becomes a central figure in Abbey’s present and future world. The High Holidays at your temple never had drama like this. Brunhild’s other works include: MISHBUCHA, THE FAMILY; WORLDS INTERTWINED; THE EXTRAORDINARY WOMAN NEXT DOOR; MAYHEM IN THE MIST and KINFOLK AND WHISKEY.
