At the age of eight, he began to write in Hebrew and <a href="/wiki/Yiddish" title="Yiddish">Yiddish</a>, At the age of 15, he published his first poem – a Yiddish poem about the <a href="/wiki/Kabbalah" title="Kabbalah">Kabbalist</a> <a href="/wiki/Joseph_della_Reina" class="mw-redirect" title="Joseph della Reina">Joseph della Reina</a>.

The first story he published there was "<a href="/wiki/Agunah" title="Agunah">Agunot</a>" ("Chained Wives"), which appeared that same year in the journal <i>Ha`omer.</i> He used the <a href="/wiki/Pen_name" title="Pen name">pen name</a> "Agnon", derived from the title of the story, which he adopted as his official <a href="/wiki/Surname" title="Surname">surname</a> in 1924.

In 1912, at the urging of <a href="/wiki/Yosef_Haim_Brenner" title="Yosef Haim Brenner">Yosef Haim Brenner</a>, he published a novella, "Vehaya Ha'akov Lemishor" ("The Crooked Shall Be Made Straight"). </p><p>In 1913, Agnon moved to Germany, where he met Esther Marx (1889-1973), the sister of <a href="/wiki/Alexander_Marx" title="Alexander Marx">Alexander Marx</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> They married in 1920 and had two children.

The mostly assimilated, secular German Jews, Buber and <a href="/wiki/Franz_Rosenzweig" title="Franz Rosenzweig">Franz Rosenzweig</a> among them, considered Agnon to be a legitimate relic, being a religious man, familiar with Jewish scripture. <a href="/wiki/Gershom_Scholem" title="Gershom Scholem">Gershom Scholem</a> called him "the Jews' Jew".<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In 1924, a fire broke out in his home, destroying his manuscripts and rare book collection.
