Rabbi Pini Dunner is the Senior Rabbi at Beverly Hills Synagogue. This book, Mavericks, Mystics & False Messiahs: Episodes from the Margins of Jewish History, is an interesting view of some of the figures in (more or less) modern Judaism who have inhabited the “margins” of the Jewish experience, and yet had some kind of impact on the center. There isn’t an overall theme or frame of reference to these examples; Rabbi Dunner appears to pick them because they are interesting. All in all, this is an informative and even (at times) humorous read.
