“Ask the Rabbi” is the title of a book of questions and answers in the maner of the “Ask Me Another” series, compiled by Albert K. Weinberg, in collaboration with Rabbi Morris S. Lararon of Bahimore. The book presents in a series of tests two thousand questions and answers on Biblical history and contemporary Jewish aifairs, the role of Jewish notables in the events in Jewish communal life and in the history of the various countries.
The questions cover a wide field of Jewish information and because of the attractive presentation the book is of great value for popularizing knowledge of Jewish history and life both for adults and children.
