Praise for Wisdom from the Batcave
“It was with a bemused skepticism that I sat down to read Wisdom from the Batcave. The idea of equating man’s highest and noblest aspirations with a cartoon character seemed outrageous, to put it mildly.
I couldn’t have been more mistaken. With his brilliant analysis and fearless postulations, Rabbi Friedman has shown why, in an era of timidity, correctness and lassitude, Batman, by his own code of honor, is able to leapfrog over the demons that cause police, armies, and nations to pause. A spectacular book!”
