Elie Wiesel's Latest Outcry: To Be a Jew'
Tracing a background of
having been raised in an
environment of Christian
hostility, equating the per-
sonal with the Jewish ex-
periences throughout his-
tory, Elie- Wiesel writes
about being a Jew without
animosity. A passionate
dedication to his Jewish
roots, acquired through ac-
cumulated knowledge of his
history and traditions, pro-
vide the inspired text of the
essay "To Be a Jew" which
introduces the series of the
author's republished essays
appearing in "A Jew Today"
(Random House).
"A Jew Today," a collec-
tion of essays, letters and
excerpts from Wiesel's
books, is the outcry of a sur-
vivor from Nazism who af-
firms his passion for life and
uncompromising identifica-
tion with the ideals of his
people. The introductory es-
says defines his Jewishness,
how he welcomes the Torah
on Shavuot, mourns for
Jerusalem on Tisha b'Av,
rejoices on Purim. How does
he accept the horror of the
Holocaust and the chal-
lenge of God over the
calamities - suffered - by his
people? This is an affirma-
tion of faith in which he as-
serts:
"For the survivor, the
question presented itself
differently: to remain or
not to remain a Jew. I re-
member our tumultuous,
anguished debates in
France after the libera-
tion. Should one leave for
Palestine and fight in the
name of Jewish
nationalism, or should
one, on the contrary, join
the Communist move-
ment and promulgate the
ideal of inter-
nationalism?Should_ one
delve deeper into tradi-
tion, or turn one's back
on it?
"The options were ex-
treme: total commitment or

time to rebuild. Whatever
he chooses to do, the Jew be-
comes a spokesman for all
Jews, dead and yet to be
born, for all the beings who
live through him and inside
him.
"His mission was never to
make the world Jewish but,
rather, to make it more hu-
man." •
Excerpted from "A
Messenger of God," "A
Beggar in Jerusalem"
and "Souls on Fire,"
Wiesel's "A Jew Today"
compiles the personal
reactions of the author,
who writes, inter alia:
ELIE WIESEL
total alienation, uncondi-
tional loyalty or repudia-
tion. s There was no return-
ing to the earlier ways and
principles.
"The Jew could say: I
have suffered, I have- been
made to suffer, all I can do is
draw closer to my own
people. And that was under-
standable. Or else: I have
suffered too much, I have no
strength left, I withdraw, I
do not wish my children to
inherit this suffering. And
that, too, was driderstand-
able.
"And yet, as in the past,
the ordeal brought not a de-
cline but a renascence of
Jewish consciousness and a
flourishing of Jewish his-
tory. Rather than break his
ties, the Jew strengthened
them. Auschwitz made him
-stronger. Even he among us
who espouses so-called uni-
versal causes outside his
community is motivated by
the Jew in him trying to re-
form man even as he de-
spairs of mankind. Though
he may be in a position to
become something else, the
Jew remains a Jew.
Oil Imports Drop
NEW YORK (ZINS) —
Large reserves and an in-
crease in domestic produc-
tion reduced American im-
ports of foreign oil by 13
percent during the first
eight months of 1978.
However, the American
Petroleum Institute reports
that imports have been in-
creasing in recent months.

"Never before have Jews
been so intimately linked
one to the other. Shout here
and you will be heard in_
Kiev. Shout in Kiev and you
will be heard in Paris. When
Jews are sad in Jerusalem,
Jews everywhere reflect
their sadness. Thus a Jew
lives in more than one place,
in more than one era, on
more than one level.
"Throughout a world
in flux, young Jews,
speaking every tongue,
products of every social
class, join in the adven-
ture that Judaism repre-
sents for them, a phe-
nomenon that reached its
apex in Israel and Soviet
Russia.
"Following different
roads, these pilgrims take
part in the same project and
express the same defiance:
"They want us to founder,
but we will let our joy
explode; they want to make
us hard, closed to solidarity
and love, well, we will be ob-
stinate but filled with corn-
passion.
"This is the challenge
that justifies the hopes the
Jew places in Judaism and
explains the singular marks
he leaves on his destiny.
"Thus there would seem
to be more than one way for
the Jew to assume his condi-
tion. There is a time to ques-
tion oneself and a time to
act; there is a time to tell
stories and a time to pray;
there is a time to build and a
"To be Jewish is to be pos-
sessed of a historical con-
sciousness that transcends
individual consciousness."
"A Jew Today" is a
dramatized version of an
eminent author's Jewish
loyalties. It will rank
among the most impressive
of Wiesel's outcries for jus-
tice for the Jew in an appeal
for Jewish devotions to
themselves.
