Professor Wiesel discusses ways and reasons to oppose intolerance. He analyzes the meaning and significance of the oft-repeated verse: ve’ahavta lere’acha kamocha, and you should love your fellow human being as yourself. First he studies the verse grammatically and syntactically but then he questions its social, ethnic and religious meaning, asking who the re’ah/neighbor is, whether a Jew or non-Jew. According to EW, the Talmud clarifies that when it comes to solidarity, you must prioritize your own community but not exclusively. The entire Talmud, Professor Wiesel explains, means dialogue, debate and tolerance. Tolerance, however, must be based on respect. Professor Wiesel teaches us that the basis of Talmudic teaching is mutual respect.
