Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A 1967 coming of age story by Chaim Potok set in late-forties New York.The story features a friendship between two Jewish boys from different sects. One is Danny Saunders, the heir to the Rabbinate of an Ultra Orthodox congregation of Russian immigrants. The other is Reuven Malter, who is from a more moderate and Americanized but still religious family. His father is a noted intellectual and Zionist activist. Danny is being subjected to a curious form of training called "raising in silence" which entails being shunned by one's own father, an attempt to teach him "what it is to suffer" to prepare him to be a Rebbe (kind of like a Rabbi but with more mystic and authoritative, almost priestly connotations). Reuven befriends him in his loneliness and they share the struggles of faith and the normal difficulties of teens as well as the rivalry between their two factions. This book deals with themes like the struggle between family loyalty and friendship and the difficulties of faith amid modernity. It gives many insights into Jewish culture and is popular among Gentiles as well as Jews.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Potok later wrote a sequel called The Promise. Not to be confused with the first book of The Stone Dance of the Chameleon, which has the exact same title. | |

Artistic License – History | |

Artistic License – History: The main characters start out in high school and go on to college while historical events are mentioned as occurring, including D-Day, the end of World War II, and the creation of the State of Israel. Somehow, though, the year 1946 gets skipped along the way. | |
