Summary:

Larry is an atheist in a family of orthodox Memphis Jews. When his father dies, it is his responsibility as the surviving son to recite the Kaddish, the Jewish prayer for the dead, every day for eleven months. To the horror and dismay of his mother and sisters, Larry refuses-- thus imperiling the fate of his father's soul. To appease them, and in penance for failing to mourn his father correctly, he hires a stranger through a website called Kaddish.com to recite the daily prayer and shepherd his father's soul safely to rest. -- adapted from jacket
