In this critically-acclaimed novel, 15-year-old Bernie Karp discovers a most unusual family heirloom in the basement: a rabbi frozen in a block of ice since 1899. Once thawed, Reb Eliezer feasts on a world where Jerry Springer and Viagra exist quite nicely alongside Tantric Kaballah and his new-found celebrity. Meanwhile Bernie begins transforming into a Kabbalistic master whose outer-body experiences keep preventing him from losing his virginity, to name only one problem of being a true spiritual master in a modern age.
Steven Stern's fiction, with its deep grounding in Yiddish folklore, has prompted critics such as Cynthia Ozick to hail him as the successor to Isaac Bashevis Singer.
