Joseph Roth’s novel Hiob contains countless references to the cultural universe of Orthodox Judaism. Its protagonist, Mendel Singer, is explicitly described from the very beginning as a pious observant Jew, teacher of Holy Scriptures. Starting from these primary textual data, the present essay aims to analyze a central episode for the narrative-building process, namely the story of the smallpox epidemic, in light of the halakhic sources on the subject.
