Society & Culture
Writing about Jewish communities post-Holocaust forced Chaim Potok to reckon with a painful, traumatic cultural history that colored the experience of everyone in his life and in his community. This, combined with the advent of Zionism created a space fraught with conflict over the direction that a Jewish future should take. Potok contrasted this division, as always with understanding: never letting anyone forget the common humanity of those in conflict. * Official Canon Fire Website: www.canonfirepodcast.com/ Banner designed by Brittany Baril.
