Editor's Notes and Comments:

Product Description:
This is a collection of bridge stories with a Jewish flavor. The kindly and considerate Rabbi, the star performer, has a gentle sense of humor—which is counterpointed by the uproarious exchanges between his companions as some remarkable sequences unfold at the bridge table.

Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - Good hands, funny narrative, what else do you want?
David bird has now become a major brand name in the world of Bridge humour for his "Monks of St.Titus" books about the Bridge playing Abbot and his charges. The publishers want to capitalise on this brand by extending it in the same field. So, when it was decided that Ron Klinger's series of "Jewish humour" bridge magazine articles should be issued in book format, the publishers wanted to get the Bird brand on the cover.

David Bird set to work with Ron Klinger to expand the articles for book format and this is the result. If you are a fan of the Abbot, you will find this book very appealing. It is much better than the "Robin Hood" and "Cruise Liner" books.

The hands are, presumably, the work of Ron Klinger and they are good indeed. They are substantially better than the ones in David Bird's "Robin Hood" books. Good as they are, they are not free from errors. For example, in one case, a player holding a singleton trump is described as leading a second round of trumps.

The humour is straight, down the line Jewish and indeed, you might almost expect to find Maureen Lipman turning up to play at the Synagogue pairs. It is funny and it adds enough levity to keep the readers interest even as some of the trickiest hands are described.

Once you have read all of the Abbot books, you will certainly want to read this.
