Congregation Ohr Torah
2 hr long
Lunch and Learn discussion of the film 'The Chosen', set against the backdrop of 1940s Brooklyn during World War II and the fight for the State of Israel. The film adapts Chaim Potok's story to explore the dynamic spectrum of American Jewry, illustrating the rift and ultimate reconciliation between strictly traditional, insular Hasidic communities and the emergence of modern Orthodox and other integrated American Jews. Follows a deep bond between two young men: Daniel, a devout Hasid, and Reuven, an observant Zionist, despite their stark ideological differences. Includes a delicious lunch buffet catered by Jerusalem Pizza, followed by group questions and comments. Aides and children eat free.
