With his old friend Danny Saunders—who himself had abandoned the legacy as the chosen heir to his father's rabbinical dynasty for the uncertain life of a healer—Reuvan battles to save a sensitive boy imprisoned by his genius and rage.

Evaluation Epithetical Books The Promise (Reuven Malther #2)

I've long had complex feelings about my Judaism. I am a Conservative Jew, and was very observant during my childhood and adolescence. I grew away from my religion for several years, but over the past year or so, I have begun to recommit to it. My mother converted to Judaism before marrying my dad. It shouldn't, but it's always given me an inferiority complex among my fellow Jews.The Promise, like The Chosen, highlights the inter-religious discord among Jews. We follow along with Reuven's

In The Promise, a follow-up to The Chosen, we catch up with Reuven Malter as he is continuing his graduate education in the 1950s Jewish community of New York. While The Chosen focused on Reuven's life-altering friendship with Danny as the two boys found their way to manhood, The Promise deals with the clash of belief and unbelief, tradition and secularism, Orthodoxy and unorthodoxy, and supernaturalism and naturalism that hit the post-war American Jewish community. Secularism was a rising force

(Some spoilers for The Chosen follow)Once again Potok delivers a very nuanced and human story that takes place during a time of flux for America and the Jewish community (though its message transcends sectarian bounds). This book is a continuation of The Chosen and follows Reuven and Danny as they begin to enter their respective professional sphere: Danny in psychology and Reuven in Talmudic studies on the path to become a rabbi. They remain close, if busy, friends. America, however, is very

I thought The Chosen couldn't be beat, but this one did it. Chaim Potok draws you into the lives of the characters; Reuven's internal struggle to figure out just "what kind" of Jew he is while still remaining true to the faith he learned from his father, Danny's empathy with Michael's suffering and his desire to prove that choosing psychology was the right thing to do... but most of all it is tragic to see how much humans tear each other apart - in this book it's between Hasidic and other

I love, love, love Chaim Potok's writing. He has a depth that begs slow digestion and his ability to portray the evolution of cultural thought is pure genius. He uses Jewish culture as his backdrop, but the hardening of old positions vs. the embracing of new ideas is a theme that holds universal application. This novel is a continuation of a previous novel, The Chosen. It is a story of the unlikely friendship between 2 young Jews from Brooklyn (1940s). Unlikely, because they are from two very

I love Potok's writing style and his story-telling - his books contain deep messages for life. I will be sad when I read his last book.

I was outraged to find out that Chaim Potok DIDN'T write a sequel where Reuven and Danny end up making love. Don't even bother reading this book it just makes children cry and men go to war.What a waste.
