Jewish Lights Publishing, Woodstock, Vermont , 2008 

 RRP $27.95

 Reviewed by Greg Ross, Nambour Uniting Church.

Rabbi Harvey Rides Again contains 10 stories that have been adapted from their traditional Jewish setting and situated in what North Americans have come to know as the Wild West.  Each story is illustrated in cartoon strip style and contains points that are both humorous and wise. 

The stories teach truths about living in relationship with your neighbour, with the environment, with members of your family and community, and about issues of justice and equal valuing of all people. 

 The stories may be used for personal reading or could be useful as discussion starters with groups of young people and children about the same issues that confront them in the home, school, work and community situations.
