Job: The Story of A Simple Man
- By
- Publisher
An Orthodox Jew’s faith is tested when he leaves Tsarist Russia for NYC in this retelling of the Book of Job—“inspired in its poetry and its deep insight” (The New York Times).
Job is the tale of Mendel Singer, a pious Eastern-European Jew who teaches the Torah to children, and whose faith is tested at every turn. His youngest son seems to be incurably disabled, one of his older sons joins the Russian Army, the other deserts to America, and his daughter is running around with a Cossack. When he flees with his wife and daughter, further blows of fate await him . . .
In this modern fable based on the biblical story of Job, Mendel Singer witnesses the collapse of his world, experiences unbearable suffering and loss, and ultimately gives up hope and curses God, only to be saved by a miraculous reversal of fortune.
