How is the story of Moshe Yosef Daum and Fela Nussbaum (Menachem’s parents) similar to that of Job? How is it different?

The story of Moshe Yosef Daum and Fela Nussbaum is similar and different to the book of Job. One reason why the book of Job is similar to the story of Moshe Yosef Daum and Fela Nussbaum is because in both stories/novels, the dad is the one that is most sacred to God. This can be proven in the book of Job, when Job was very sacred to God and continued to stay sacred to him even when he is greatly suffering. Also in the story of Moahe Yosef Daum the dad was praying to God when he said "We must live with faith despite our unanswered questions. The tenacity of my father’s faith has always been a mystery to me. It’s a lot easier for me to understand the religious defiance of my father’s only surviving relative, his cousin Dora." This means that he is so sacred to God. These stories are also different because In the book of Job the mom played a very small role in that she barely talked. In the story of Moshe Yosef Daum and Fela Nussbaum, the mom talked much more in that she was much more involved in the story. That is why these stories are similar and different.
