Popular covers
Halberstam's first novel focuses on the struggle of a young Chassidic man in Brooklyn wrestling with the age-old conflict between modern secularism and family tradition. While occupied by the overt struggle between his Yeshiva studies and his collegiate experience, Elisha, the son of a prominent rabbi, also faces the powerful draw of a beautiful non-Jewish woman, Katrina. Halberstam's focus is on the increasingly tense relationship between Elisha and his father, a Holocaust survivor and an intellectual who respects Elisha's curiosity but won't let him forget his responsibilities to heritage and community.
A surprising exploration of culture and family, this familiar-seeming tale of a good Jewish boy and the shiska who challenges his faith treats all its characters with respect, granting import to each relationship and refusing to fall prey to stereotypes. Broken up by several classic Chassidic tales, the novel also emphasizes the power and importance of storytelling.
