I want to express my congratulations to Rabbi Pear for this extraordinary and well-written book. I strongly recommend this book it is a beautiful journey through the Jewish halacha (law) expressed in a day-by-day point of view, simple and clear. The simplicity of Rabbi’s Pear write make this book easy and funny to keep reading until the last page.

A recently released convict. A man on an ice-cream diet. A Priest and a Chasidic Rabbi. A popular pornographer. A wrestler named Chainsaw. And, of course, Paul Revere.

These are but a few of the interesting characters one meets during the intellectually stimulating, spiritually inspiring and often humorous journey that is The Accidental Zionist. Odd bedfellows to be sure, but each in their own way contributes mightily to a powerful conclusion: For Judaism to remain relevant and a force for positive change in the lives of many Jews, it must also become relevant and a force for positive change in the world at large. This pioneering book reveals the essential role Israel should play in the fulfillment of this important objective.
