| Plot Summary of The Minyanaires |
|---|
"The Minyanaires is a book about the motivations and beliefs of a small group of Jews who, through their daily synagogue attendance, provide the minyan or quorum of ten, required for those who come to say Kaddish in memory of a loved one. In interview style, the author queries 19 regulars and 5 members of the clergy as to their beliefs about God, the Soul, Prayer, Miracles and Destiny. He delves into universal questions that cross over religious lines, making the book a spiritually uplifting book for all denominations.
"
Peter G. Engelman, Resident Scholar
