He was most interested in the more obscure topics.  "Night" by Elie Wiesel states, "By day I studied Talmud and by night I would run to the synagogue to weep over the destruction of the Temple."]]> 2022-11-10 20:02:26 UTC https://padlet.com/ew201843/qixa701sy9mmnei7/wish/2379225581 ew201843 https://padlet.com/ew201843/qixa701sy9mmnei7/wish/2379231623 Elie and his father had a complex relationship. While they seemed to have a normal relationship, they had differing values. His father was focused on the Jewish community and the people, but Elie was more focused on the religion itself. "Night" written by Elie Wiesel states, "He wanted to drive the idea of studying Kabbalah from my mind."]]> 2022-11-10 20:07:22 UTC https://padlet.com/ew201843/qixa701sy9mmnei7/wish/2379231623 ew201843 https://padlet.com/ew201843/qixa701sy9mmnei7/wish/2383583797 In this chapter, Elie did not have any time for religion. He was unable to pray and focus any energy on religion. The only time he was able to think of God, was when he thanked God for Auschwitz being a good place. "Night" by Elie Wiesel states, "Suddenly we felt free of the previous nights' terror. We gave thanks to God."]]> 2022-11-14 20:12:28 UTC https://padlet.com/ew201843/qixa701sy9mmnei7/wish/2383583797 ew201843 https://padlet.com/ew201843/qixa701sy9mmnei7/wish/2383590771 Elie has had no time to focus on family. The terrible conditions caused Elie to be stressed, anxious, and scared. "Night" by Elie Wiesel reads, "It as though madness had infected all of us. We gave up."]]> 2022-11-14 20:17:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ew201843/qixa701sy9mmnei7/wish/2383590771 ew201843 https://padlet.com/ew201843/qixa701sy9mmnei7/wish/2402493954 In this chapter, Elie has seemed to stray further from his religion. He was starting to not understand God. "Night" by Elie Wiesel states, "As for me, I had ceased to pray. ... I was not denying His existence, but I doubt His absolute justice."]]> 2022-11-29 19:36:36 UTC https://padlet.com/ew201843/qixa701sy9mmnei7/wish/2402493954 ew201843 https://padlet.com/ew201843/qixa701sy9mmnei7/wish/2402496369 Elie and his father seemed to become closer. They kept trying to comfort one another and take care of each other. "Night" by Elie Wiesel states, "We pretended, for what if one of us still did believe?" They were pretending for each other that Elie's mother and sister was alive.]]> 2022-11-29 19:38:23 UTC https://padlet.com/ew201843/qixa701sy9mmnei7/wish/2402496369 ew201843 https://padlet.com/ew201843/qixa701sy9mmnei7/wish/2411530698 In this chapter, Elie's relationship with his father does not really change. He was worried for his father during the bombing. "Night" by Elie Wiesel states, "I anxiously thought of my father who was at work."]]> 2022-12-07 02:09:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ew201843/qixa701sy9mmnei7/wish/2411530698 ew201843 https://padlet.com/ew201843/qixa701sy9mmnei7/wish/2411530859 In this chapter, Elie strays further form his religion. He seems to believe that God has abandoned them. "Night" states, ""Where is he? This is where - hanging here from this gallows...". ]]> 2022-12-07 02:09:16 UTC https://padlet.com/ew201843/qixa701sy9mmnei7/wish/2411530859 ew201843 https://padlet.com/ew201843/qixa701sy9mmnei7/wish/2413424572 In this chapter, Elie's relationship with God has weakened. He does not want to pray or say thanks to a God that has allowed the Jews to go through this. "Night" by Elie Wiesel states, "Why, but why should I bless Him? Every fiber in me rebelled."]]> 2022-12-07 19:52:28 UTC https://padlet.com/ew201843/qixa701sy9mmnei7/wish/2413424572 ew201843 https://padlet.com/ew201843/qixa701sy9mmnei7/wish/2413424778 In this chapter, Elie's relationship with his father strengthens. Through the struggle of the evacuation they decide to stay together. "Night" by Elie Wiesel states, "As for me, I was thinking not about death but about not wanting to be separated from my father."]]> 2022-12-07 19:52:39 UTC https://padlet.com/ew201843/qixa701sy9mmnei7/wish/2413424778 ew201843 https://padlet.com/ew201843/qixa701sy9mmnei7/wish/2414973158 In this chapter, Elie abandoned his religious practices. Normally, when a person died Kaddish would be spoken to assist them into going to the afterlife, however he and the others did not say Kaddish when people died. “Night” by Elie Wiesel states, “The dead remained in the
yard, under the snow without even a marker, like fallen guards.
No one recited Kaddish over them.”]]> 2022-12-08 23:59:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ew201843/qixa701sy9mmnei7/wish/2414973158 ew201843 https://padlet.com/ew201843/qixa701sy9mmnei7/wish/2414974102 In this chapter, Elie’s relationship with his father continues to grow strong. They stay together and look out for each other. “Night” written by Elie Wiesel reads, “My father was sent to the left. I ran after him.”]]> 2022-12-09 00:00:47 UTC https://padlet.com/ew201843/qixa701sy9mmnei7/wish/2414974102 ew201843 https://padlet.com/ew201843/qixa701sy9mmnei7/wish/2416004346 In these chapters, religion seems to separate from him completely. He does not pray or think of god. "Night" by Eli Wiesel, "No prayers were said over his tomb. No candle lit in his memory."]]> 2022-12-09 19:48:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ew201843/qixa701sy9mmnei7/wish/2416004346 ew201843 https://padlet.com/ew201843/qixa701sy9mmnei7/wish/2416007091 In these chapters, Elie's relationship with his father dies. While his father is alive, he takes care of him grudgingly and does so out of commitment, not love. When his father dies, he does not cry or say Kaddish, but instead feels slightly relieved. "Night" by Elie Wiesel states, "I did not weep, and it pained me that I could not weep. ... And deep inside me, if I could have searched the recesses of my feeble conscience, I might have found something like: Free at last!...".]]> 2022-12-09 19:51:57 UTC https://padlet.com/ew201843/qixa701sy9mmnei7/wish/2416007091
