The Books of Jacob

by Olga Tokarczuk

Strange is a salvation that can’t be seen.

All salvation can't be seen in this world. Perhaps it's a fiction we tell ourselves however we daven? All messiahs are false because their failure leads to despair. All messiahs are true because their arrival brings hope. But the hobos will see Godot before the righteous see Mashiach In 20,000 years Jews will still exist while today's enemies will be forgotten, but will Mashiach have come and gone, never to return or be recognized? God is eternally hiding Why not his anointed in history?
