Faculty Review Copy

Rabbi Elijah Daniels is invited to a Native American sweat lodge ceremony, where he meets and befriends the leaders of the nearby Antchu community. When a spiritual leader confesses to the murder of his wife, the tribe asks the rabbi, who is also an attorney, to take his case. The rabbi’s concern over the ethics of representing a confessed murderer fades when the evidence against the elder doesn’t seem to add up. Something’s amiss, and the rabbi finds himself risking his reputation and even his life to find the truth.

 

Arthur Gross-Schaefer
Professor/Rabbi Arthur Gross Schaefer, JD, CPA (inactive), MAHL, DD (honoris causa), is a full professor of business law, ethics, mysticism, and sustainability at Loyola Marymount University. He has been listed by the Princeton Review as one of the top 300 university professors nationally. He consults with non-profit and profit-based organizations on issues such as effective ethical decision-making, sexual harassment, and time management. He publishes and speaks on diverse topics including academic freedom, professional ethics and burnout, spiritually in the workplace, and immigrant rights. The Rabbi is the spiritual leader for The Community Shul of Montecito and Santa Barbara, California. Prior to this position, he serves as a congregational rabbi for several communities and interim Hillel rabbi at the University of Southern California, the University of California at Santa Barbara, as well as the founding Hillel Rabbi at Loyola Marymount University. He co-founded the Avi Schaefer Fund in memory of his son. His wife, Laurie Gross, is an internationally known artist and liturgical consultant. He has crafted, so far, three books in his Rabbi Elija Daniels mystery series.

"Ancient riddles wrapped in spiritual enigmas inside a page-turning mystery. The Rabbi Wore Moccasins calls to mind The Celestine Prophecy, Mutant Message Down Under, and The Way of the Peaceful Warrior - all journeys that make you think, feel, and stay up very late reading!"
Cheri Steinkellner, Emmy, Golden Glove, and Writers Guild Award winner. producer of "Cheers," and Broadway writer of "Sister Act" and "Hello! My Baby"

"Not just a good strong mystery, but an irresistible look into places we rarely get to see."
Jeff Arch, Oscar-nominated screenwriter of "Sleepless in Seattle"

"Professor/Rabbi Gross Schaefer has blessed us with a rabbi sleuth reminiscent of Harry Kellerman with a taste of Tony Hillerman, and the lucky reader of this absorbing mystery will come away with wisdom from two traditions."
Malka Drucker, author of the award-winning Frida Kahlo and Rescuers: Portraits of Moral Courage in the Holocaust
