Description
Rabbi Harvey is Back with Ten Hilarious New Adventures
In this follow-as much as the preferred The Adventures of Rabbi Harvey: A Graphic Novel of Jewish Wisdom and Wit in the Wild West, the Rabbi returns to the streets of Elk Spring, Colorado. Part Wild West sheriff, part old world rabbi, Harvey protects his town and delivers justice, wielding only the weapons of wisdom, wit, and a little of trickery. These adventures combine Jewish and American folklore by creatively retelling comic Jewish folktales and setting them loose at the western frontier of the 1870s.
As his fame grows during the Rocky Mountains, Rabbi Harvey meets new characters―including the luckless gold miner Abigail―and faces a slew of new challenges. He encounters the return of “Big Milt” and Wolfie Wasserman (the most feared father-and-son outlaw team east of Nevada), and investigates every other bold crime by the sweet-faced Bad Bubbe. And, as ever, the Rabbi is the quickest draw in the West―relating to pulling out bits of Talmudic insight to fit any occasion, that may be. Like any great number of Jewish folktales, these stories contain layers of humor and timeless wisdom so as to entertain, teach and, especially, make you laugh.
