Nov 16, 1978
Professor Wiesel reviews the year’s lectures: on Moses’ disciple Joshua; on the tragic friendship of Rabbi Yochanon and Resh Lakish; on the Hasidic Rebbe Moshe Leib of Sassov. Professor Wiesel shares sections of his new book, A Jew Today: “A Jew today is a Jew who questions himself, where am I?” He recounts growing up amid the normal “hostility” of Christians: “alien meant not Muslim or Hindu, but Christian.” In “A Quest for Jerusalem,” he “celebrates” the Holy City: “A Jew today, a Jew always sings of Jerusalem, a Jew today celebrates Jerusalem, celebrates because of Jerusalem.” He adds numbers of vignettes of children of survivors, who have “become an obsession.” He concludes by reading the “long” 1975 essay, “A Plea for the Survivors.”
