The rabbi and his famous friends

the long version

"Part cookbook, part ethical discourse, this unique, timely and courageous work shows readers how to build ethical character -- and create a Mediterranean lamb stew that is out of this world. Author and amateur chef, Rabbi Philip M. Posner is on a mission to stir the pot and get readers exchanging meaningful dialogue on compassion, justice, moral courage, righteousness, empathy, forgiveness and kindness. With the spirits of Anwar Sadat, Martin Luther King, Jr., the Prophet Amos, and Mahatma Gandhi to name a few, the author makes the most out of dinnertime. With topics debated by some of history's most interesting world leaders and biblical characters -- he tackles timely issues and reviews timeless lessons of how we can live healthier lives, nurtured by character and delicious food."--Back cover
