Synopsis

A rabbi must decide whether to follow his conscience or the will of his congregation. A young boy may sacrifice his one chance at popularity to do the right thing. A doctor clashes with a Jewish chaplain. These and other stories create vivid images and impart powerful lessons about the need for morality in an imperfect world.

In addition to fictional fables and inspirational tales, author Martin Elsant includes nonfictional testimony from his father, a Jewish chaplain who attended to Holocaust survivors. As two survivors travel to Nuremburg to oversee one of the sessions, they reveal to him the true strength of the human spirit. Their journey is more captivating and heartrending than any fictional account could be.

Elsant has chosen to share these seven stories with you to reveal the good and evil inherent in human nature. To Elsant, man is not fundamentally good or fundamentally bad. Instead, morality is a never-ending series of choices. By creating stories surrounding these decisions, Elsant provides a poignant look into the struggle every human faces when trying to do the right thing. He leaves it up to you to discover whether his characters truly listen to their better angels.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

p>Martin Elsant’s first novel, Bar Mitzvah Lessons, was published to rave reviews. His new short story collection further explores the need for morality in an imperfect world.

In college, he devoted half his studies to Judaic subjects and the other half to secular.

Elsant earned his MD from New York University, completed his radiology residency at Mount Sinai in New York, and completed a cross-sectional imaging fellowship at the Hospital of St. Raphael at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut.
