Interweaving religious texts about money with interviews Rabins conducted over the course of two years (including with an FBI agent on the case, Madoff victims, and a Buddhist monk), A Kaddish for Bernie Madoff will investigate the intersection of mysticism and finance, the inevitability of cycles, and the true meaning of wealth.
Inspired by personal finance blogs, kabbalistic numerology, and the Kaddish, Rabins explores connections between Madoff's individual crimes and their larger communal and cultural impacts. Ordinary-seeming actions come to reveal truths about the deeper significance of Madoff's deception and the surprising interconnectedness of humans to one another.
