My Name Is Asher Lev October 24, 2010

A Hasidic artist torn between his observant Jewish community and his need to express the voice that lies deep in his soul, young Asher Lev struggles to balance the core conflicts of self-fulfillment and family loyalty. Aaron Posner's muscular adaptation packs all of the drama and tension of Chaim Potok's coming-of-age epic into a stunningly theatrical package, while capturing all of the heart that has made the novel a beloved modern classic.
