The Books of Jacob by Olga Tokarczuk. It's rather maximalist like Pynchon or perhaps Eco, and arguably not as good as them (I still enjoyed it), but it's really heavy on Jewish themes. It takes place in XVIII century Eastern Europe and follows the life of Jacob Frank and his Frankist Jewish sect. The author describes all the Jewish mysticism in great detail.
