In introducing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to his “classroom or shul” at the 92nd Street Y, Professor Wiesel points out that it is the Ten days of Awe between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, a time to pray for Israel’s welfare. Professor Wiesel commends Netanyahu for anchoring his vision and decisions for the State of Israel in Jewish memory. Both men recall their first meeting, soon after Entebbe, when they read together the letters of Netanyahu’s brother, Yoni. In one of those letters, Netanyahu says, Yoni mentioned that he read Night and so he read it too: “It made an extraordinary impression on me.” The Prime Minister then tells the story of when he met the Lubavitcher Rebbe one eve of Simchat Torah and was entrusted by him with the mission to light a candle for truth and for the Jewish people. Recognizing that Elie Wiesel has been doing that all his adult life, Netanyahu says that he too has tried to do so ever since. He asks the members of the audience that when they light candles on Yom Kippur, they light an extra candle for truth and justice for the Jewish people and state.
