Prologue
Jacob Droutman is a forty-five year old Jew living in New York. More importantly, he is a Rabbi that preaches to his local congregation at a synagogue in the Lower East Side.
For the first ten years of his life he was brought up by his mother and father on the Lower East Side. This was once the home to poverty-stricken Jewish immigrants, but now it is mainly populated by Chinese and Puerto Ricans. His parents lived there out of a duty to tradition, but when their eldest son went missing they joined the mass exodus of Jews to Brooklyn.
Jacob was only ten years old when his older brother disappeared. He was never seen again and still remains on the missing persons list. Now Jacob only remembers his brother in prayers and photographs.
