The Chosen.

First edition of the author's first book set in the mid-twentieth Century, in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York City. Octavo, original cloth. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper, "To Seymour Fox, With gratitude- and very warmest wishes best wishes to Sarah Chaim Potok." The recipient, Seymour Fox was the head of The Hebrew University of Jerusalem’s School of Education for 14 years, beginning in 1966. Fox was instrumental in developing and growing Camp Ramah, a network of Jewish summer camps in the United States, Canada and Israel, considered the “crown jewel” of the Conservative Movement. For thousands of Jewish youth, Camp Ramah has been a seminal experience in developing their commitment to Judaism and to leadership within the Jewish community. His influence on Jewish education around the world has been called “inestimable,” in terms of the financial resources he raised, the institutions he founded, and the intellectual contributions of the general education and Judaica scholars he brought together to advance Jewish education. Some browning to the cloth in a very good dust jacket with light rubbing. Jacket design by Paul Bacon. A very nice association.
