Format:VHS Tape
The story tells of the different views of hasidic and reformed Jews toward modern Israel as seen through the eyes of two Jewish families in New York City in the '60s. It powerfully tells of the friendship of the boys and the differences of their fathers and how that affects all of them. Still relevant, especially given the situation in the Middle East. Well worth watching and discussing afterward.

Interesting Story, gives an example of mid 20th century Hassidic Jewry, very interesting and a must if studying Judaism.
Format:DVD
The Chosen is a classic. I read the book and now viewed the film. It is an impressive story by one of America's greatest story-tellers of what religion does to a committed individual. The film is a genre in its own right.
