A propos de cet article

Review"A tale that will delight and reward its reader." -- Rabbi Geoff Dennis, author of The Encyclopedia of Jewish Myth, Magic, and Mysticism"I loved it from the opening pitch to the surprise, walk-off ending." -- Jim Langford, author of , The Cub Fan's Guide to Life and The Cub Fan's Book of DaysProduct DescriptionDetermined to bring his wife out of her own slump, Rabbi Jay Loeb practices a bit of magic based in the ancient Jewish mystical tradition of Kabbalah to help the perennial underdogs, the Chicago Cubs, win the World Series. In this modern-day tale, the rabbi suspects that his wife, Tamara, is having an affair. However, he feels no relief upon learning that her true obsession, and the cause of her erratic behavior, happens to be the hapless Chicago Cubs, whose prospects for the pennant are no better that year than they had been since they last appeared in the World Series in 1945. With his wife's law practice, family life, and health in jeopardy, Rabbi Loeb takes matters into his own hands and secretly performs a kabbalistic ritual in Wrigley Field that removes the park's legendary Billy Goat Curse. While the Cubs become invincible at home, they continue to struggle on the road, and upon discovering the cause of their new-found success, Cubs management commissions Rabbi Loeb to apply his kabbalistic knowledge to help the team go all the way. Ever mindful of his desire to restore his wife's well-being, Rabbi Loeb takes measures to neutralize other curses that have plagued the team—and help the players develop the spiritual strength they need to prevail.From the PublisherAvailable October 15, 2005.From the Inside FlapRabbi Jay Loeb fears that his wife, Tamara, is having an affair.
