(This
is a talk that I gave in Sacrament Meeting this past Sunday.)
I have been asked to speak today about “protecting the
family” and “being in the world, but not of the world.” As I considered how
best to address this topic, I thought of Chaim Potok’s novel, The Chosen. The
story is set in Brooklyn, New York toward the end of World War II, and it centers
around two Jewish boys: a Hasidic Jew named
Danny Saunders and a Modern
Orthodox Jew named Reuven Malter.
