Excerpt
I wiped the sweat off my upper lip and promised myself, again, that I wouldn’t bolt. The Moses Temple of Champaign, Illinois had a reputation for beauty. Its ceiling soared overhead, a circular masterpiece of artistry and engineering. Angels spread their wings from an altarpiece so impressive I’d have been inclined to kneel—if it hadn’t been split and splattered with blood. Rows of wooden pews leading up to double podiums tried to warm me. But they were too broken to carry weight anymore. So all I could do was stare down at what was left of Rabbi Gordon Klein and hope I didn’t have to stay so long that puking became an option.
