Remembering Elie Wiesel On His Seventh Yahrzeit

Jun 15, 2023

The 26th of Sivan (Wednesday night/Thursday, June 14 and 15) commemorates the passing of our teacher, mentor, sage, Elie Wiesel, ztz”l. We miss him deeply. Yet the 92NY archive of his 129 recorded lectures, ranging from 1967-2014, provides us with an incomparable source of his teaching, commentaries, songs, and hope. He constantly mined the Torah, Talmud, and the Hasidic masters to display where a Jew—really, where anyone—should turn for wisdom, inspiration, and challenge.

Rabbi David Ingber and Dr. Avraham Rosen honor Elie Wiesel’s 7th yahrzeit in a wide-ranging conversation about his contributions for life’s questions and celebration of Torah learning, freedom, Israel, and life as a Jew.
