A Serious Man – 8

A hilarious riff by the Coen Bros on growing up Jewish in St. Louis Park, 1967. A latter-day Job (though I should re-read the book), beset by calamity after another, with allusions as well to Sodom and Gomorrah, while Larry seeks to find out how Hashem talks to mortals, and what he is saying. The rabbis are better at questions than answers, the voice of the day is Jefferson Airplane, and when we do hear God’s voice, is it a tornado?
