abstract
  • Jason Gotkin was a young up-time Jew from New York City who was 6 hours away from a degree in computer science who was trying to decide whether to become a software engineer or a rabbi.. His reason for being in Grantville when the Ring of Fire fell is not explicitly stated, but a reference to "my bags in the trunk of my car" suggests that he may have been passing through the town while on a trip. He accompanied Morris and Judith Roth when they relocated to Prague. While there, his possession of a copy of the Tanakh printed in English convinced two of Prague's rabbis that what he'd told them of Grantville's origin was true, as few 17th-century Jews used English, and even they would not use an English-language Tanakh.
