Our New Read

Dari chose our book for February.  We will be reading The Chosen by Chaim Potok.  Here is a little description of what the book is about:

In 1940s Brooklyn, New York, an accident throws Reuven Malther and Danny Saunders together. Despite their differences (Reuven is a Modern Orthodox Jew with an intellectual, Zionist father; Danny is the brilliant son and rightful heir to a Hasidic rebbe), the young men form a deep, if unlikely, friendship. Together they negotiate adolescence, family conflicts, the crisis of faith engendered when Holocaust stories begin to emerge in the U.S., loss, love, and the journey to adulthood. The intellectual and spiritual clashes between fathers, between each son and his own father, and between the two young men, provide a unique backdrop for this exploration of fathers, sons, faith, loyalty, and, ultimately, the power of love.

So, go to your local Library, borrow it from a friend, or if you feel like this is something you'd like to own you can purchase it on Amazon for $7.99 if you get the Mass Market Paperback edition, or $10.20 for the regular Paperback edition.  Happy reading!
