Choose another writer in this calendar: by name: A B C D ... Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback Chaim Potok (1929-2002) - original name Herman Harold Potok Rabbi and author whose novels depict the life and culture of Orthodox Jews. Potok's works in the 1980s have been autobiographical. Throughout his publishing career Potok has written scholarly and popular articles and reviews. Central theme in Potok's novels is the tensions between Judaism and the values and culture of modern society. '"Reuven, as you grow older you will discover that the most important things that will happen to you will often come as a result of silly things, as you call them - 'ordinary things' is a better expression. That is the way the world is."' (from The Chosen Herman Harold Potok was born in New York City in Bronx as the eldest son of Jewish immigrants from Poland. Following traditions, Potok's parents also gave him a Hebrew name, Chaim Tvzi (Chaim means "life" or "alive"). His father, Benjamin Max Potok, was a jeweler and watchmaker. As a child Potok received primary education in Jewish schools where he studied required secular subjects but also the Talmud, the center of the curriculum. Potok's upbringing, Orthodox if not quite Hasidic, has been inspiration for several of his novels, which are set in Orthodox Jewish communities in Brooklyn and the Bronx. When drawing and painting was considered in the Orthodox community a violation of the Second Commandment and a waste of time, Potok focused on writing. He read works by James Joyce, Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner, Thomas Mann, and Evelyn Waugh, whose novel

Chaim Potok, Author Chaim Potok spoke for nearly two hours to a extraordinarily mixed group ranging from elementary school children to senior citizens. He read "B.B.", a short story from his newest book Zebra and Other Stories. Listening to him gently craft each sentence you fully "experienced" this story. Zebra is Dr. Potok’s first book for young adults. He remarked that he found it interesting that young adults were reading his adult books and thought perhaps it was time to write a young adult book that adults might read. He did not want to write "fluff" ."there is enough "fluff" out there. He wanted to write about "real" life situations in everyday life. Situations that we are all aware of whether consciously or unconsciously. Each of the six short stories is titled with the name of the main character and encompass a wide range of feelings including helplessness, powerlessness, hope, divorce, trust, death, loss, fear of abandonment, secrets, boundaries and communication. These are ordinary and very real people. Dr. Potok skillfully and gently tells these stories with a quiet respect for the audience and characters, forming no judgements; allowing the reader to draw their own conclusions. This is exceptional reading.

Enter e-mail address: Search GradeSaver dictionary thesaurus Hosted by pair Networks Biography of Chaim Potok Chaim Potok, born Herman Harold Potok, was the son of Polish immigrants and was reared in an Orthodox Jewish home. He was born in February of 1929 in New York City, where he attended religious schools. However, as a young man he became fascinated by less restrictive Jewish doctrines, particularly the Conservative side of Judaism. He attended Yeshiva University and graduated summa cum laude in English literature in 1950 before moving on to the Jewish Theological Seminary of America, where he was ordained a Conservative rabbi. Potok then taught at several Jewish colleges, including the University of Judaism in Los Angeles, before moving on to become the managing editor of Conservative Judaism in 1964. Potok spent a year in Israel completing his doctoral dissertation on philosophy from the University of Pennsylvania in 1965 and the following year he became the editor of the Jewish Publication Society of America, which he remained for eight years before becoming a special-projects editor of the publication in 1974. Throughout his career in publishing, Dr. Potok wrote numerous popular articles and reviews. Potok began his career as an author and novelist in 1967 with the publication of The Chosen, which stands as the first book from a major publisher to portray Orthodox Judaism in the United States. With its story about the friendship between the son of a Hasidic rabbi and a more secularly-minded Jewish boy in Brooklyn, The Chosen established Potok¹s reputation. Critics praised the book for its vivid rendering of the closed Hasidic community, while many considered it to be an allegory about the survival of Judaism. Potok followed The Chosen with a sequel two years later called The Promise. Potok returned to the subject of Hasidism for a third time with the 1972 novel My Name is Asher Lev, the story of a young artist and his conflict with the traditions of his family and community. Potok followed this novel with a sequel, as well, publishing The Gift of Asher Lev eighteen years later in 1990.

Conversations with Chaim Potok Edited By Daniel Walden "Writing at its best is an exalted state, an unlocking of the unconscious and imagination and a contact with sanctity." One of America's most popular Jewish writers, Chaim Potok (b. 1929) is the author of such novels as The Chosen The Promise The Book of Lights (1981), and Davita's Harp (1985). Each of his novels explores the tension between tradition and modernity, and the clash between Jewish culture and contemporary Western civilization, which he calls "core-to-core culture confrontation." Although primarily known as a novelist, Potok is an ordained Conservative rabbi and a world-class Judaic scholar who has also published children's books, theological discourses, biographies, and histories. Conversations with Chaim Potok presents interviews ranging from 1976 to 1999. Potok discusses the broad range of his writing and the deep influence of non-Jewish novels-in particular, Evelyn Waugh's
