Chertok exposes the materialistic shallowness of many American "assimilated" Jews. Chertok's first book, Stealing Home: Israel Bound and Rebound (Fordham University Press) was awarded 1989's National Jewish Book Award. He bemoans Israel's schools, he criticizes Israel's treatment of the Arabs. He is, in fact, a rare bird- a dedicated Zionist and an observant Jew who despises narrowmindedness in any shape or form, whether it be cultural, social, left-win, right-wing, or religious.

Stealing Home is an at times witty, at times grave, at times hopeful, and at times cynical, but always thought-provoking .

Stealing Home is an at times witty, at times grave, at times hopeful, and at times cynical, but always thought-provoking collection of autobiographical essays. I came to this book expecting it to be a memoir, or at least the author's story of how he and his family made aliyah, how they came to that decision, and what life was like for them while they were still new citizens. Instead I found the book to be about the author's experiences with and opinions on a wide variety of topics, like the Black Hebrews, the Bedouins, the Israeli school system, his periodic service in the military, and revisiting his boyhood neighbourhood in the Bronx.
