New York: Shapolsky Publishers, (1991).
Price: $400.00
Hardcover. First edition. Fine in about very good dustwrapper with a few short tears. Inscribed by the author on the front fly: "To Rabbi Fred Neulander - With thanks for your presence in my class - Janice Booker." Also with Neulander's ownership signature on the same page dated in 1993, and his numerous ink annotations in the text. Booker is a Philadelphia radio broadcaster and journalist, who also taught journalism and public speaking at both Temple and the University of Pennsylvania.
Neulander was the founding Rabbi of the Congregation M'Kor Shalom Reform Temple in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which opened in the summer of 1974. Neulander clearly didn't take Booker's lessons of sympathy for Jewish women to heart. He was convicted of hiring two hit men, who successfully murdered his wife, Carol Neulander in November of 1994. Apparently he was motivated by an affair he was carrying on with another Philadelphia radio personality, Elaine Soncini, whom he had converted to Judaism. He is currently serving a term of 30 years to life.
