520    One evening in 1994, Rabbi Fred Neulander returned home to
       find his wife face down on the living room floor, blood 
       everywhere. He called for help, but it was too late. Two 
       trials and eight years later, the founder of the largest 
       reform synagogue in southern New Jersey was sentenced to 
       life in prison, the first rabbi ever convicted of murder. 
       In an examination of the misuses of the pulpit and the 
       self-delusions of power, author Magida paints a 
       devastating portrait of a charismatic, manipulative man 
       who used his temple as a place to acquire several 
       mistresses--and to befriend a lonely recovering alcoholic,
       whom he convinced to kill his wife. The story straddles 
       the juncture between faith and trust, asking what happens 
       when religious leaders who set the standards of ethical 
       behavior fail to abide by them in their personal lives.--
