The Chosen by Chaim Potok, Centered Around Two Jewish Families in WWII

The Chosen was held in Brooklyn, New York in the 1950s. At the moment, everyone has their own radio to catch up with the latest news of the Second World War. It focuses mainly on two boys and their families. Both families are faithful Jews, but they deal with their religion in very different ways and ultimately affect each other. Reuvan Malter is one of the heroes, and he also talks about that book. Reuvan was very intelligent and familiar to most students, as his father taught at the school he attended.

Chaim Potok, the eldest son of a Polish immigrant, was born in a traditional Jewish family and grew up in New York. He accepted worldly education, he was a rabbin and a scholar. Potok is best when exploring Religious Judaism and the vast secular world. This may be due to deep-rooted anxiety and tension in his own life. Like many other American Jewish novels, Chaim Potok's novel The Chosen (Potok 1967) develops around the tension between tradition and contemporary American life.

In the novel, chosen, Chaim Potok succeeded in seizing the strange custom of the Jewish community through tact and satire. Potok's novels concentrate on two Jewish boys living in a world where families have high success criteria. The desire to become an insightful leader in the Jewish community is a habit of always dominating two families. But thanks to hard work and constant efforts, the two boys (Rueven and Danny) have found their true identity and what life they will bring in the future. The novel focuses on the desire to imagine individual needs of individuals while preserving tradition.
