"The Rabbi's Wife" is wonderful! Shuly Rubin Schwartz has achieved magic by writing a work of true scholarship that is so readable. She helps us to see what has been, for so long, invisible- the unheralded role of the Rebbetzin in making the American synagogue tick. She introduces us to unforgettable characters, and enables us to see the progress that women have made in this country over the last century. Most interestingly, she shows us marriages that were true partnerships in every sense of the word.Michael Katz, Westbury, New York
