Summary "Gabriel: A Story of the Jews in Prague" by S. Kohn is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set in the early 17th century during a time of turmoil for the Jewish community in Prague. The narrative focuses on the main character, Gabriel, a Talmud student and newcomer in the Jewish quarter, who becomes embroiled in the lives and struggles of those he encounters, including an old man named Jacob who is tormented by his past. The opening of the novel introduces the bustling atmosphere of the Jewish quarter in Prague on a wintry morning, depicting various characters engaged in their daily activities. Gabriel arrives in this vibrant scene, reflecting on his quest for knowledge and solitude. As he interacts with the locals, including a cobbler named Abraham and the distressed Jacob, it becomes clear that Gabriel possesses a compassionate heart beneath his serious demeanor. The interactions hint at deeper themes of identity, faith, and the weight of history, setting the stage for Gabriel’s complex journey and struggles amidst the challenges faced by the Jewish community.
