"once new years day had dominated my life. I knew that my sins grieved the eternal, I implored his forgiveness. Once, I had believed profoundly that upon one solitary deed of mine, one solitary prayer, depended the salvation of the world. "

My response: After new years his faith went down a lot because he still didn't understand what he did to be in the position he was. Also shows how he no longer cares about religion god or any of that all he cares about is surviving.

"And moshe the beadle, the poor barefoot of sighet, talked to me for the long hours of the revelations and mystery of the cabbala. It was with him that my initiation began. We would read together, ten times over, the same page of the zohar. Not to learn it by heart, but to extract the divine essence from it."

My response: When he found Moshe the Beatle I realized that he was gonna help Elie learn his religion and be there for him. This is also showing that Elie really wants to learn about his religion.

" I was 12. I believed profoundly. During the day I studied the Talmud. and at night I ran to the synagogue to weep over the destruction of the Temple."

My response: I believe this shows how much Elie believed in god and how much it changed from the beginning to the end of the book and it is sad how the concentration camp did that to him. When the temple is destructed but Elie still weeps over it shows how much he was involved with his religion.

"there were no prayers at his grave. No candles were lit in his memory. His last word was my name. Summons, to which I didn't respond."

My response: After his dad died he said how he was a "burden" or he questioned it wondering if he was weighing him down when he was still alive because eli was focusing on helping him too much. After his dad dies you realize Elie loses faith in god. If the story was different and elies dad died at the beginning of the story or even a quarter of the way through he would have prayed and wept but now he has lost faith.

"Yes it is very strong, greater than god. When you were decieved by Adam and Eve, you drove out of Paradise. When Noah's generation displeased you brought them down the flood. When Sodom no longer found flavor in your eyes, you made the ski rain down fire and sulphur. But these men here whom you have allowed to be tortured, butchered, gassed and burned, what do they do? They pray for you. They praide your name.

My response to this: This is basically showing how changed Eli and his beliefs. Someway through the concentration camps he starts to question his faith and thinks to himself "is god really helping me" and "what did I do to be here."
