CharacterRabbi Harvey is a Jewish rabbi who also functions as an Old West sheriff in the fictional Rocky Mountain frontier town of Elk Spring, Colorado. Harvey uses rabbinical wit and wisdom to solve problems instead of a gun.[2] In The Adventures of Rabbi Harvey and Rabbi Harvey Rides Again, which were published first, each chapter is a separate story, but in Rabbi Harvey vs. the Wisdom Kid, however, each chapter is part of a larger story arc.[3] Each chapter takes inspiration from one or more Jewish folktale(s) and puts a Western spin on it. This eclectic mixing of genres sprung from Sheinkin's childhood as a Jewish-American boy raised on both Jewish legends and American Westerns. Rabbi Harvey also contains elements of not only a wise mythical rabbi and a heroic lawman but also the author's own father, David Sheinkin.[2] AppearanceSheinkin, who illustrates as well as writes the Harvey books, always portrays Harvey with a full beard and thick unibrow. According to the chapter "You're a Brave Man, Harvey" in The Adventures of Rabbi Harvey, "Harvey grew up in the Adirondack Mountains of northern New York." He had a sister and constantly daydreamed of being a character in Bible stories.[2] How Harvey came out West is not entirely clear. In the chapter "There's a New Rabbi in Town" in The Adventures of Rabbi Harvey, it is indicated that Harvey had never been out West when he came to Elk Spring looking for a rabbi job after graduating in New York City while working at a pickle factory.[2] However, in the chapter "Deputy Harvey, San Francisco" in Rabbi Harvey Rides Again, Harvey appears to have been a much younger, beardless man when he sails from New York to San Francisco "with nothing but ten dollars and a change of clothes." There he works selling bread and as a sheriff's deputy.[4] Other characters{{Relevance|date=October 2018}}One recurring character is Milton "Big Milt" Wasserman, an outlaw who appears with his two-man "gang" as reigning with terror over Elk Spring before Harvey's arrival in "There's a New Rabbi in Town."[2] Big Milt appears again in the Rides Again chapter "Wasserman and Son, References1. ^ 2. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{Cite book|title=The Adventures of Rabbi Harvey|last=Sheinkin|first=Steve|publisher=|year=|isbn=|location=|pages=}} 3. ^1 2 3 {{Cite book|title=Rabbi Harvey vs. the Wisdom Kid|last=Sheinkin|first=Steve|publisher=|year=|isbn=|location=|pages=}} 4. ^1 2 3 {{Cite book|title=Rabbi Harvey Rides Again|last=Sheinkin|first=Steve|publisher=|year=|isbn=|location=|pages=}} 2 : Fictional Jews|Rabbis |
