From the Publisher
“Michael Goldberg’s new, genre-bending novel is itself a blessing: an unorthodox Rabbi’s quixotic search to heal the wounds he has suffered, and inflicted, since his own bris. Though an entertaining send-up of biblical contradictions and rabbinical hypocrisy, Goldberg also explores his sinner’s inherent decency, honor, and love of family. Zieglitz’s Blessing carves a memory not soon forgotten.”
—Lou Gorfain, Emmy award-winning screenwriter
“Zieglitz’s Blessing follows a man’s life through love, loss, anger, and redemption. At times funny, often heart-wrenching, and consistently thought-provoking, Goldberg’s novel will touch you in ways that will surely surprise you and stay with you long after reading it.”
—Randy Auerbach, film executive and producer
“Rare is the writer who can embed the deepest questions of human existence into a tale as absorbing as Zieglitz’s Blessing. Drawing on his considerable wit and on his lifelong experiences as a rabbi, a hospital chaplain, and as an ethicist, Goldberg has produced a novel that is tragic, comic, and, finally, redeeming.”
—Todd Brewster, New York Times #1 best-selling co-author of the The Century
