The Chosen Free Audiobook Download by Chaim Potok


The story is set in the Jewish ghetto of 1940s Brooklyn, the conservative Belmont area of Boston in 1948, and an unidentified 18th-century village in Poland. It tells the coming-of-age story of Reuven Malter, who becomes a scholar of Kabbalah (Jewish mysticism). The novel traces his journey from childhood to adulthood while he struggles with issues both intellectual and emotional.

This is a moving story of the conflict between two cultures. It is the story of two boys, Danny and Reuven, who grow up together in a small town in eastern United States near the beginning of the twentieth century. The story centers on the relationship that develops between these two boys and what happens to them as it evolves into something different from friendship, and then something more than love.

This audiobook is the story of two Jewish boys brought up in a poor old-world style yeshiva. One left to be an intellectual and the other became a rabbi's son. It is the story of their journey back to each other, of the spiritual odyssey that led one to search for God, and the other to find Him.

The Chosen is a powerful novel of the struggle between individualism and conformity. It is the story of two Jewish boys who are best friends. Reuven's father believes that he must suppress his individuality in order to be accepted by society and live a happy life. Danny, on the other hand, is encouraged by his father to develop his uniqueness and stand out from the crowd. Inspired by Potok's own childhood experiences as an American Jew living in Eastern Europe, this book takes on universal truths about what it means to be an individual in our society today.

The Chosen is the story of two adolescent boys, one Hassidic and one a secular Jew, who become friends despite their differences.
