A small town is a world : the Rabbi stories of David Kossoff

Wonderfully Original
My mother bought this book for me when I was 11 years old. I read it and was completely charmed by it. It's the story of a gentle, wise old Rabbi who uses humor and clever anecdotes to solve his flock's problems. And you don't have to be Jewish to appreciate this book: I'm a Black, non-Jewish woman, and I thought it was wonderful. It's been 16 years and I still think about it once in a while. I tell people about it and no one's even ever heard of it. Finally, I can order it from Amazon, and now I'm sighing with happiness.


Smart Steps to Smart Choices: Testing Your Business Idea
Published in Paperback by Upstart Pub Co (1996)
Author: David H., Jr. Bangs
Amazon base price: $22.95
Average review score:

A very user-friendly guide to test your business ideas!
Starting and launching a new business or project venture is always risky, especially when experts are not around to guide and assist you readily.

Oftentimes, we turn to books and other resources that are readily available to help in our decision making process.

There are many entrepreneurship and business/project start-up books out there in the marketplace. Unfortunately, it is not easy to find a good one that can really help you. Very few authors of such books make the effort and spend the time to help you reflect on your idea(s) and test it/them before putting into action.

I am very glad to have found, among other few good books, David Bang's 'Smart Steps to Smart Choices,' to be a well-written guide. Also, very user-friendly!

Most entrepreneurship and business/project startup books concentrate too much time on the 'implementation-execution' end, and not at the 'thinking-planning' end i.e. the evaluation & testing phase, which comprises the critical decision making process, and which to me is far more important.

This book contains a well-structured series of 'personal workshops' (to me, these are an excellent form of planning checklists, with thought-provoking questions & hands-on activities) which have been designed specifically to help you develop practial insights about your business/project idea & also help you face and work out your answers to critical issues that may make or break your business/project success. Systematically, with this book, you can determine:

- whether entreprenership is right for you in the first place;
- whether your idea makes business sense;
- whether your idea makes market sense;
- whether your idea makes money sense;

This is one book that you have to work through it to appreciate its latent power and usable value. With this book, you will also find learning about entreprenership fun, interesting and meaningful.

As a matter of fact, I use a small pilot project of mine to test run it. Upon completion, I found that I have a better sense of my project direction, in terms of business, market and financial implications. Not many books can achieve such feats for the reader.

What I also like about this book is that it is graphically driven. It is packed with many margin icons to help you stay on track while you read and work through your answers. I love books written in this manner. They really make your life easier as a reader.

Although the author has written many other books on business and market planning, I find only this one book from him that has impressed me very much, in terms of learning points and application value in the field of opportunity recognition and evaluation.

Lastly, this book can also serve as an excellent reading companion to Jeffry Timmons' and Karl Vesper's books on entrepreneurship & new venture strategies!

Concise step-by-step helper
This book has a good, concise layout to help you decide which business to pursue and how to go about getting to day one. Perhaps less pointed than a "How to Write a Business Plan" manual, it is more of a self-help book to find support in the community, think through ideas carefully, and get to day one. This book can make you a well prepared entrepreneur and more likely to be successful.


Sunday the Rabbi Stayed Home
Published in Textbook Binding by G K Hall & Co (1977)
Author: Harry Kemelman
Amazon base price: $11.95
Average review score:

Will the rabbi solve the crime?
"Sunday the Rabbi Stayed Home," by Harry Kemelman, is a fascinating crime story featuring a ... rabbi as its hero. David Small is the rabbi of the synagogue in the "Yankee town" of Barnard's Crossing. As the book opens the rabbi is caught up in a political power struggle within his own congregation. But the situation gets even stickier when a crime is committed and the rabbi is drawn into the investigation. Illegal [substance] trade and racial prejudice complicate the matter.

This is a really fun read. Kemelman has a very engaging writing style, and the smart, stubborn Rabbi Small is a marvelous character. There is occasional dated language ...but overall the book really holds up.

The story offers a really intriguing look at a Jewish community and specifically at life within the synagogue. A number of interesting issues are raised--the role of the synagogue in society, the role of the rabbi, etc. A good book not only for lovers of crime fiction but also for those interested in Jewish-American studies.
