The Rabbi Who Prayed for the City

I had to interlibrary loan this book from Colorado! This is the six-years-later sequel to the first Rabbi Vivian book about a lesbian rabbi in Providence trying to work with her congregation to bring more justice into the world. This one deals with a hurricane (and citywide preparations led by Rabbi Vivian’s partner) as well as the launch of an autonomous robot which, for money-raising reasons, is also having its AI shared with Israel. Written in 2023, hits a bit different in 2025 as far as the Israel stuff goes, but still a very good read
