My Name is Asher Lev

Summary

Recommended by Chaye Kohl

 

Asher Lev, a boy from a Chasidic family, believes in G-d and keeps the mitzvot.  Compelled by an inner creativity, he follows his passion for art, which leads him to the brink of blasphemy. He struggles to follow his passion while not rejecting family and community. The story is riveting and heartbreaking.
