The Rabbi's Wife is a 1977 novel by David Benedictus.
The plot centers on the kidnapping of a rabbi's wife by Palestinian terrorists.
Rabbi David J. Zucker described the book's portrayal of how members of the rabbi's synagogue treated him after the kidnapping as "indifference", which he interpreted as a fictional example of the "loneliness of rabbinic life".
