Chaim Potok was an acclaimed author of fiction and a rabbi in the late twentieth century. His literary career ascended quickly with his first novel: The Chosen. Published in 1967, it follows two young boys growing up in Orthodox Jewish families in Brooklyn during the 1940s. The work was a critical and commercial success.
