Doubly Chosen provides the first detailed study of a unique cultural and religious phenomenon in post-Stalinist Russia—the conversion of thousands of Russian Jewish intellectuals to Orthodox Christianity, first in the 1960s and later in the 1980s. These time periods correspond to the decades before and after the great exodus of Jews from the Soviet Union. Judith Deutsch Kornblatt contends that the choice of baptism into the Church was an act of moral courage in the face of Soviet persecution, motivated by solidarity with the values espoused by Russian Christian dissidents and intellectuals. Oddly, as Kornblatt shows, these converts to Russian Orthodoxy began to experience their Jewishness in a new and positive way. Working primarily from oral interviews conducted in Russia, Israel, and the United States, Kornblatt underscores the conditions of Soviet life that spurred these conversions: the virtual elimination of Judaism as a viable, widely practiced religion; the transformation of Jews from a religious community to an ethnic one; a longing for spiritual values; the role of the Russian Orthodox Church as a symbol of Russian national culture; and the forging of a new Jewish identity within the context of the Soviet dissident movement.

Before the USSR collapsed, ethnic identities were imposed by the state. This book analyzes how and why Jews decided what being Jewish meant to them after the state dissolved and describes the historical evolution of Jewish identities. Surveys of more than 6,000 Jews in the early and late 1990s reveal that Russian and Ukrainian Jews have a deep sense of their Jewishness but are uncertain what it means. They see little connection between Judaism and being Jewish. Their attitudes toward Judaism, intermarriage and Jewish nationhood differ dramatically from those of Jews elsewhere. Many think Jews can believe in Christianity and do not condemn marrying non-Jews. This complicates their connections with other Jews, resettlement in Israel, the United States and Germany, and the rebuilding of public Jewish life in Russia and Ukraine. Post-Communist Jews, especially the young, are transforming religious-based practices into ethnic traditions and increasingly manifesting their Jewishness in public.

Jeb West is a 19 year old hand for the Double B Ranch on the spring roundup when he accidently comes upon a rustling operation. While he is watching the rustlers he hears a voice that is seared into his mind as the leader of the gang that murdered his family five years before. He takes action to capture the person and it leads to his uncovering a plot to murder all of the people on the Double B, stealing their herd and selling it. He is joined by Jeb Nash, a former gun slinger and mountain man, in his quest to thwart the nefarious action of the gang. During their preparation they discover that the gang has a strangle hold on the Idaho Territory of 1872 and the law seems to not be able to do anything about it or even recognize the danger. While they are gathering a counter force they enlist the aid of the Chinese community of the territory and become close friends with a Wu Han, a former Officer in a Chinese Princes private army, who along with the Prince, is in exile from the present Chinese Emperor . The trio enlists the aid of various ranchers, miners and other citizens to combat the on coming onslaught of the Double B. Also during their travels they fall in love with three ladies who are very involved in the womens right movement. The action takes place in the 1872 Southwest section of the Idaho Territory centering around Horseshoe Bend and Boise City. There are many different characters brought into play, some historical and most fictional. The settings depict what life was like in that time with all of the hardships and the luxuries of the time.
