enure at Beth Abraham, the congregation's senior rabbi is finally talking about retirement. But for now, Vivian is still stuck with his priorities...and with the congregants who call him "
the Rabbi." Beyond the synagogue walls, the city's Office of Climate Resiliency is facing down some disturbing statistics, and a tech company new to town is building robots to settle Mars - and join Israel's military. Meanwhile, Vivian's attempts to steer her congregation's reactions to all this hardly leave her enough time to address the other big question that's nagging at her: Should she and her wife try to have a kid? And if so...what makes the perfect sperm donor?
When a multimillion-dollar robot goes missing, and there are only days to find it before a huge hurricane hits Providence, the city - and Beth Abraham - are tested in every way. Both a community macher and a close personal friend of Vivian's get swept up in the mystery...along with Vivian herself. Who's really responsible for what happened - and who will be forced to take the blame? And what will the city, the congregation, and Rabbi Vivian's life look like in the aftermath of it all?
