Friday The Rabbi Slept Late

Friday the Rabbi Slept Late follows Rabbi David Small of the small Jewish community in Barnard’s Crossing, Massachusetts, after the body of a young woman is discovered near the synagogue. Because the woman had recently been seen speaking with the rabbi, suspicion and gossip quickly begin spreading through the town, drawing Rabbi Small unwillingly into the center of a murder investigation.

As police search for answers, Rabbi Small uses his intelligence, patience, and understanding of human behavior to examine the inconsistencies and hidden motives surrounding the case. At the same time, he must navigate tensions within his congregation and the pressures of community life while trying to uncover the truth behind the murder before suspicion and misunderstanding cause further harm.
