Michael Kind, descendiente de judíos criado en un barrio marginal de Nueva York, se debate entre el antagónico legado recibido por su abuelo y su educador, y el proporcionado por su padre. El abuelo le trasmitió su conciencia de pertenencia a la comunidad judía, mientras que su educador se encargó de la enseñanza religiosa. Como contrapunto a esa instrucción anclada en los orígenes de su pueblo, Michael conoció de la mano de su padre a valorar la libertad y a atreverse a cuestionar las normas. Las dos caras de esa formación se reflejarán en la vida de Michael adulto, quien decidirá convertirse en un rabino tolerante y abierto, dispuesto a enfrentarse a todos aquellos obstáculos religiosos y sociales que se opongan a su relación con una mujer que no pertenece a la comunidad judía. Con El rabino -a la que The Saturday Review calificó como "Una obra épica sobre el judaísmo en América"- Noah Gordon confirma una vez más ser uno de los referentes del género de narrativa histórica.
