The Chosen by Chaim Potok

4.0

---

I read this in the sixth grade and remember enjoying the philosophy and thoughtfulness that Potok wrote about. It helped that I read this while going to Jewish day school where there was a real focus on Judaism and the different branches of Judaism. I grew up Conservative (loosely) and knew a few Modern Orthodox kids (strangely even more so now as an adult!) and this book I remember being very impactful. One day - if ever - I'd like to do a reread.
