Many of those stories really stuck with me, especially tales of Hasidic leaders from my ancestral areas of Europe.
Also, I had read 'The Chosen' (Chaim Potok) MANY years ago, and enjoyed watching the movie right after it came out. I recently rewatched the film (on youtube), and was startled to find that the conflicts it portrays are, in many ways, still playing out in the Jewish communities.
Thanks for this invitation, Behind the Aegis!
