About the Book The Chosen
The Chosen is set in the 1940s Brooklyn neighborhood of Williamsburg. This vibrant community is home to various Jewish communities, each with its own customs and traditions. Through detailed descriptions and historical context, Potok brings this setting to life, making it an ideal backdrop for the story's unfolding events.
The story revolves around two young boys, Reuven Malter and Danny Saunders, who come from different Jewish backgrounds. Reuven is an Orthodox Jew, while Danny belongs to a Hasidic sect led by his father, Reb Saunders. Their initial meeting on a baseball field sets the stage for a profound and unlikely friendship that challenges their beliefs and expectations.
The primary conflict in The Chosen centers around the clash between tradition and modernity, faith and reason. Reuven and Danny's friendship faces numerous challenges, from familial expectations to personal ambitions. However, their bond grows stronger as they learn to understand and respect each other's perspectives. The resolution of these conflicts offers valuable lessons on empathy, tolerance, and the importance of critical thinking.
This Page Is Under Construction
It takes a long time to gather all the data for our new book page format with more useful descriptions, themes, and activity ideas. Meanwhile, this page is active so you can order books; it just isn't quite as informative or graphically appealing as the new page will be. Thanks for understanding! :-)
