The Rabbi and the Hit Man by Arthur J. Magida (A True Tale of Murder, Passion, and Shattered Faith)
Requirements: epub Reader, 263kb
Overview: A fascinating true-crime narrative about the first rabbi ever accused of murder and what the case says about the role of clergy in America.
On the evening of November 1, 1994, Rabbi Fred Neulander returned home to find his wife, Carol, facedown on the living room floor, blood everywhere. He called for help, but it was too late. Two trials and eight years later, the founder of the largest reform synagogue in southern New Jersey became the first rabbi ever convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison.
In a gripping examination of the misuses of the pulpit and the self-delusions of power, Arthur J. Magida paints a devastating portrait of a manipulative man who used his position of trust in the temple to attract several mistresses — and to befriend a lonely recovering alcoholic, whom he convinced to kill his wife “for the good of Israel.”
