Satan in Goray
Author: Isaac Bashevis Singer
As messianic zeal sweeps through medieval Poland, the Jews of Goray divide between those who, like the Rabbi, insist that no one can "force the end" and those who follow the messianic pretender Sabbatai Zevi. But as hysteria and depravity increase, it becomes clear that it is not the Messiah who has come to Goray.

A Jewish town in Poland circa 1648. Talmud, Hassidic, superstition, rumor, old wives tales, rites and rituals, ancient cures, cabalist. Theyre all here! Much of it disgusting, but prepare to be bored. The coming of the Messiah. But guess who shows up? End of Days. End of Book!
