In his powerful My Name is Asher Lev, Chaim Potok gave the world an unforgettable character and a timeless story that The New York Times Book Review hailed as "little short of a work of genius."

Then Asher's beloved uncle dies suddenly, and Asher and his family rush back to Brooklynβand into a world that Asher thought he had left behind forever.
It is a journey of confrontation and discovery as Asher...
