About this Book
Rabbi Samuel Cooper’s eloquent voice is heard throughout
his manuscript, created in the 1990’s. His collective stories
in, “Rabbi, Do You Have a Prayer For a Lost Dog?”
give insight to the making of a rabbi from the early 1900’s to
the 20th Century.
“Why this book?” he asks in his introduction. The answers
are on every page, in every chapter.
