Tales Of Unkosher Souls

This is an assortment of short stories about Jewish people who want to believe in a God but like many of us, they just can't take that leap of faith. As they stumble through their lives making one mistake after another, they wonder if their souls will reach heaven-if such a place exists. And then what? In "God's Sabbatical," a poor autistic soul arrives in the afterworld and is bunked in a five by five-inch cubicle. He's told that God is on vacation, and there's a fellow akin to Jared Kushner running the place. In another story, "Ruthie the Dinosaur Eats the Forbidden Fruit" a nurturing mamasaur (an unknown species) repents, I'm honestly sorry for my mistake, but after all, it was only a piece of fruit and not so good-tasting. In the last story, a raven (patterned after Bernard Malamud's the Jewbird) proclaims that Death isn't fair. All the stories are imbued with a gentle sense of humor which I inherited from my grandfather, Pinchas Margolis, who left the shtetl when he was 18 years old, and which sustained me through thirty years of gastroenterology practice. This book will have a wide audience, anyone who enjoyed "Fiddler on the Roof," or actually fiddled on a roof, will want to read this book. Thank you for evaluating my work.
