Reviews

[Diane · Rating 4 out of 5]

As individual essays these were terrific. As a compiled book it was a bit redundant. Sherwin Wine was a fabulous human being. I understand the reasons for writing a book about this man. He was a dear friend to my dear friend, Harry Cook. Of course, I liked Harry's writing the best. No shame in that. Harry was a great writer and his love for Rabbi Wine shows through these chapters. Intelligent and wise. Lovely!
