The ultimate fish-out-of-water tale.... A kid who never quite fit in, Rebecca Dana worshipped at the altar of Truman Capote and Nora Ephron, dreaming of one day ditching Pittsburgh and moving to New York, her Jerusalem. After graduating from college or university, she made her way to the location to commence her destiny. For a time, life proved exactly as she'd organized: glamorous people; beautiful people; the perfect job, apartment, and man. But when it all emerged crashing down, she found herself catapulted into another world. She goes into Brooklyn's gigantic Lubavitch community, and lives with Cosmo, a 30-year-old Russian rabbi who tactics jujitsu privately. While Cosmo, disenchanted with Orthodoxy, flirts with giving the city, Rebecca faces the actual fact that her religious beliefs - the literature, magazines, Television shows, and videos that made New York seem to be like salvation - in addition has failed her. As she shuttles between the world of spiritual extremism and the world of secular excess, Rebecca goes on a seek out meaning. Trenchantly observant, enjoyable as hell, a variety of Shalom Auslander and The Odd Few, Jujitsu Rabbi and the Godless Blonde is a thought-provoking coming-of-age report for the 21st century.
