These are not my words and they come from the website I have referenced but they do answer your question:

THE MEANING OF THE TITLE:

The "chosen" has several levels of meaning!. First, and most obviously, it refers to the Jewish people as the chosen people of God, as clearly indicated in the Old Testament of the Bible!. It also can refer to Reb Saunders and his son, Danny!. The father was the chosen one to become the Hasidic rabbi of his people and to lead them from the suffering endured in Russia to the promised land of America!. Now it is expected that Danny will become the next chosen rabbi of his people, following in his father's footsteps!. Most significantly, however, Reuven is a chosen one!. He has been selected to become Danny's friend and the go between for Danny and his silent father!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
