Jewish News
speaks to your
interests and
your cone

incantation."

Written with sensitivity and insight,
Chosen By God makes for engaging
reading. Unfortunately, the book suf-
fers from poor copy-editing, as there
are several mistakes of fact and nuance
in the text.
Now that the book is published,
and Newsweek ran an excerpt, things
have again shifted between the
Hammer brothers. According to
Joshua, reconciliation has tuned to
anger. "[Tuvia] wanted a book that
was a total endorsement of his world,"
he says, noting there have been accu-
sations of betrayal, that Tuvia objects
to having his private life made public.
A call to the Hammer home in
Monsey requesting an interview with
Tuvia was turned down by Ahuvah,
who said they are not talking to the
press.
Joshua expresses the hope that his
brother will come to see that the book
was written with respect and affection,
"a real admiration for a lot of what I
saw there." Although he feels very
badly about his brother's reaction, he
remains glad that he published the
book.
Writing Chosen By God has changed
the author "in subtle ways," he says.
"My Jewish identity is much
stronger." This month, he begins a
new assignment as Berlin bureau chief
for Newsweek. He's particularly inter-
ested in exploring the Jewish commu-
nities in Eastern and Central Europe,
something that might have been of lit-
tle concern before writing this book.
Joshua is taken aback that this book
has defined him in the eyes of some as
a Jewish writer. "I feel more like a for-
eign correspondent than a writer
about Jews," he says.

brother's transformation as a "reflec-
tion of my brother's fortitude, not his
weakness," as he had previously
assumed, but is critical of his brother's
seeming intolerance of non-Jews, even
non-Orthodox Jews.
In the book's final scene, on
Simchat Torah, Joshua, too, is moved
by the communal singing. "Locking
arms with my brother, I found myself
chanting from the depths of my being,
adding my voice to the all-enveloping
