"Harvey's adventures are so much fun you hardly realize you're learning anything until it's too late."
- Publishers Weekly
"A hero has arrived in Elk Spring, CO, to rid the town of outlaws, solve crimes, and offer sage advice.... Regardless of one's religious or cultural background, Rabbi Harvey has insight to pass on to everyone."
- School Library Journal
"With Jewish wit and simple strokes, Sheinkin has created a graphic novel for the whole family. As one of our Publish-a-Kid reviewers raves, it's 'awesome, and most of all hilarious!'"
- Moment Magazine
"Could this be your nine-year-old's first graphic novel? After all, Hanukkah is right around the corner. If so, it will blast down the doors of two great genres. Your nine-year-old might say something that Rabbi Harvey never says: "Yeehaw!"
- The Forward
"Endearing.... Teens and adults will laugh and learn watching Harvey at work."
- Jewish Book World
"This book is a delight. Steve Sheinkin has repackaged Jewish folktales, Hasidic sayings, and Talmudic wisdom into a graphic novel featuring the quirky Rabbi Harvey of Elk Spring, Colorado. The setting is the Wild West, and the book is littered with visual and verbal asides that, together with the drawings, add to the simple, dry humor.... There is no need to go on heaping praise on this book. Just go and read it for yourself--before the posse comes after ya, pard."
- Church and Synagogue Library Association
"Rabbi Harvey tames the West with wisdom on one hip, humor on the other."
- Stan Mack, author of The Story of the Jews: A 4,000-Year Adventure, and Janet & Me
"Sheinkin has a comedian's flair for the ridiculous (and I mean that in a good way). That, coupled with his whimsical illustrations, makes The Adventures of Rabbi Harvey a hilarious read!"
- Arie Kaplan, author of Masters of the Comic Book Universe Revealed
"Imparts so much memorable, useful and enjoyable wisdom. And you gotta love the cartoons that deliver homey Jewish Yiddishkeit in a post-modern format. Move over Aesop's Fables, make room for Rabbi Harvey's Tales."
- Shulamit Reinharz, PhD, Brandeis University, coauthor of The JGirl's Guide: The Young Jewish Woman's Handbook for Coming of Age
"With a blend of concise illustrations and snappy banter Steve Sheinkin pioneers Jewish folklore in novel directions. A friendly starter for readers of all ages wishing to explore Judaic parables of logic and wit. A jovial read that left me smiling."
- JT Waldman, author of Megillat Esther
"When I was a kid, my father told me tales of The Wise Men of Chelm, and Steve Sheinkin's The Adventures of Rabbi Harvey could be right out of those stories, except that Rabbi Harvey is too smart. It took me all of five minutes to get used to some of the strangest art I have ever seen in a comic, and then I started chuckling and couldn't stop until I finished the book. By then I had even grown to like the art. Read this book for the humor, for the wisdom, for the great old cowboy songs, for the strange art."
- Trina Robbins, comics critic and historian, author of The Great Women Cartoonists
"For every kid who ever sneaked a comic book into the synagogue, there is a new here - Rabbi Harvey, who tamed the Old West with Jewish wisdom and humor. I'm hiding a copy of this book in my tallis bag, hoping my kids will find it!"
