Rabbi Burns : A Novel

By: Kandel, Aben

RABBI BURNS The star of Aben Kandel's tref satire of Hollywood Jews and religious showmanship, Rabbi Marvin Burns of Los Angeles' Temple Beth-El is gleefully raising funds to build his dream synagogue, "a million-dollar temple¿as elaborate and magnificent and costly as Sid Grauman's Chinese Theater." As controversial upon its publication in 1931 as it is today, Kandel's classic roman à clef of Rabbi Edgar Magnin of the Congregation B'nai B'rith (today's Wilshire Boulevard Temple), long out of print, will be sure to offend, amuse, and provoke Jews and gentiles alike.
