Two worlds collide when a young Hasidic boy knocks a ball right into the eye of his Orthodox rival at a baseball game between their yeshivas. It’s an unlikely start for a friendship. But in Chaim Potok’s masterpiece coming-of-age story, this unlucky accident inspires a bond between two young men that transcends the pressures of family and tradition, survives the polarizing politics of a World War and reminds us all that sometimes, the most powerful choice we make in our lives is the choice… of a friend.
