From the Publisher:
A bomb plot draws Rabbi Small into international intrigue while he's vacationing in the Holy Land in this New York Times-bestselling novel
David Small has spent 6 years as the rabbi of Barnard's Crossing, Massachusetts, and every year his job has been in crisis. In desperate need of time away, he embarks on a 3-month trip to Israel. He expects a relaxing, soul-nourishing stay, but wherever Rabbi Small goes, murder follows.

A bombing disrupts his vacation and the rabbi finds himself thrust into a world of terrorism and political discord in the divided city of Jerusalem. He teams up with an Orthodox Israeli cop to hunt down the terrorists before they can attack again. Dispensing Jewish wisdom as he employs his astute detective skills, Rabbi Small might be the only one who can crack this explosive case.

Harry Kemelman: Monday the Rabbi Took Off (USA 1972)

From the Publisher:
The eagerly awaited new novel in the rabb detective series, featuring Rabbi David Small, who can see the third side of any question.
Six years has the rabbi labored in the unchanging - certainly unappreciative - vineyards of Barnard's Crossing. But even a rabbi can fall prey to the seven-year itch, and David Small (a rabbi like no other) makes a private exodus to Israel to soothe his soul.

But being David Small, he makes the pilgrimage for reasons exclusively his own: He is not a tourist indeed visiting congregants are incensed to find he's no help at all as a guide) ; he is not "taking courses"; he's not even taking a sabbatical to write a book. He has gone to Israel simply to soak up the atmosphere-sit in the park, talk to the kids, go to the synagogue or (heresy of heresies) not, as the mood strikes him.

He isn't even concerned about Rabbi Deutsch, his interim replacement, who is the congregation's dream come true - a distinguished spiritual leader in marked contrast to the unkempt, disorganized, trouble-prone Rabbi Small, with whom they have been saddled for six long years. But then a distant Israeli relative of Rabbi Deutsch finds himself in the thick of a frightening incident involving Arab militants, and only Rabbi Small, supreme master of pilpul Jewish hairsplitting deductive logic), can bail him out...
