As a person who has experienced crises of faith‚ I deeply connected with this book. Rabbi Elisha struggles to coincide his values as a Jew with terrible events that he witnesses

Slim said‚ “ By the way‚ what did you said about Lennie was absolutely right. Perhaps he isn’t intelligent‚ but I’ve never seen such a good worker as him.
