“Chosen”

    While I was still at Noble Academy I was reading Chaim Potok’s Chosen with a group of 8th graders.  It was a good choice because the Hmong and African students knew nothing of Judaism.  The story is of a unusual friendship between two boys. Both are Jewish; one orthodox and the other Hasidic.  It covers the period of WW II and the establishment of the nation of Israel 🇮🇱. Because we hadn’t finished it I did so now.
     I recommend it. It’s well written and gives much insight into the difference’s of Jewish religious interpretation.
