Hiob: Roman eines einfachen Mannes: Leidensweg des jüdisch-orthodoxen Toralehrers Mendel - Schicksalsschläge, durch die sein

The novel follows the harrowing journey of Mendel Singer, a Jewish Torah teacher in the shtetl of Zuchnow, Russia, and later in America, from 1900 to post-World War I. Mendel faces profound tragedies that challenge his faith and devotion as he navigates the struggles of raising a family, particularly with the birth of his son Menuchim, who suffers from severe developmental issues and epilepsy. As Mendel grapples with his distrust of medical treatment, his family's dynamics become strained, leading to cruelty from his other children towards Menuchim. Despite their hardships, Mendel and his wife Deborah cling to hope.
