After 17 years, Professor Wiesel returns to the Book of Job, since in the lecture in 1967 there were certain omissions. This time we see the friends were not really friends; we learn from Job himself the laws and conduct of mourning; we see that Job’s wife spoke one line and then seemed to disappear. But she actually didn’t. She had remained there throughout the entire year of his ordeal. . . while everybody took part in the debate she kept quiet. Her silence is as impressive as their words and perhaps more so. At the end both decide to embark upon a new beginning. Impossible, so what? They rebuild their home, their lives, their hopes. Is that the lesson offered in their book? That it is given to human beings to start all over again?
