The Frozen Rabbi av Steve Stern
A great premise and plot, interesting characters, an unusual perspective on the Jewish-American experience and the founding of Israel, but ultimately a major disappointment.

A great premise -- boy finds frozen rabbi in meat freezer -- but a messy novel. After the rabbi thaws out during power shortage, Stern tells lots and lots of family history and gives the rabbi a following.
