My Name is Asher Lev

Hey guys!

This isn't entirely relevant to our current project, but I'm currently reading (for recreation!) a book called My Name is Asher Lev by Chaim Potok. It's an incredible novel about a young Jewish boy growing up in the time of Stalin and his struggle of choosing between being a religious Jew or an artist. It beautifully depicts the struggles and tribulations of being an artist and how other people may view us in both negative and positive lights. It's about 370 pages but it's hard to put down!

Here it is on Amazon!
