Ephraim: A Rabbi Strays...
When twenty-seven-year-old Ephraim returns to Toronto from rabbinical school in New York, he�s looking forward to launching his career and then someday finding a devout young woman who�ll be happy to become his rebbetzin. However, his Uncle Avram has a different order of events in mind and schemes to introduce him to gorgeous Rebecca, a fiery, anti-secularist, who�s founding a school with an emphasis on Jewish tradition.
Despite her disapproval of Ephraim�s less rigid religious practices, Rebecca�s clearly interested in him romantically and she even invites him to join the faculty of her new school. Things appear to be going according to Uncle Avram�s plan�that is until Ephraim encounters Laura, a beautiful gentile who works at his mother�s shop. When he falls face-first in love with Laura, Ephraim is suddenly torn between the call of his heart, the expectations of his family, and the demands of a rabbinical career.
Nightly, he finds himself in ghostly debate with a thundering prophet Elijah, who in no uncertain terms lays out the Biblical argument against Ephraim�s love for Laura. As time goes on, complications continue to mount until a sudden, shocking event catapults Ephraim into a mystical time and place, where he will be forced to come to a final decision about his life.
Steeped in beautifully rendered Jewish history and populated with vivid and appealing characters, Ephraim-A Rabbi Strays... takes readers into a fascinating, magical reality of past and present, where one young man must choose between love and the demands of his faith.
