The Chosen by Chaim Potak

This is a classic novel about the unlikely friendship that develops between two boys in 1940's Brooklyn. Reuven Malther is a secular Jew with an intellectual, Zionist father; Danny Saunders is the brilliant son and rightful heir to a Hasidic rebbe. Together they navigate the emotional terrain of adolescence and the demands of family and a crisis of faith when stories of the Holocaust begin to emerge on the shores of America.

The Chosen is a profound, deeply moving story of Fathers and Sons and of the enduring power of love.
