| Summary Note |
"Delilah Levi is a social climber who spent her adolescence dreaming or turning her blond good looks into a brilliant match, as did her mother. But when fate intervenes in the form of a sincere, but not overly bright, rabbinical student, she decides, disastrously, to become "The" rabbi's wife. Her husband is posted to an affluent suburban, modern Orthodox synagogue, and Delilah befriends the fabulously wealthy Joie Shammanov, who introduces her to a world of material excess that rivals her wildest daydreams. When the demands of a hypocritical board and unbearable congregants finally push her over the edge, the consequences set in motion a social tornado that sweeps everything in its path."--BOOK JACKET. |
