It's the birthday of novelist Chaim Potok, (books by this author) born in the Bronx, New York (1929). He's the author of several novels about Orthodox Jewish communities in Brooklyn and the Bronx, including The Chosen (1967), The Promise (1969), and The Book of Lights (1981).

He died the summer of 2003, I think. I remember a friend of mine was in the middle of "The Chosen" right when Potok died. Very sad.
