Reb admitted to Reuven that he had known who Danny was since Danny was four years old. How Danny's mind was too curious and intelligent to be held back. Even though both men raised their sons completely different, they had the same universal love for their sons as do all true parents. I came to this conclusion when I finished the book. Through most of the book, I thought that friendship was what The Chosen was about.
Friendship is the main theme and is what is focused on a lot.
But, after I had read all of the book, I just kept thinking about Mr. Malter and Reb Sanders. How they both knew what was going on all the time. They knew that Reuven and Danny needed each other. How Reuven needed Danny to open his mind too other types of people. And how Danny needed Reuven to introduce him to the world.
