At the beginning of Night, Elie describes himself as someone who believes profoundly. But his experiences at Auschwitz have changed this belief substantially. He has seen people killed, tortured, separated from their families, and thrown into crematoriums as if they were nothing. During a time when Elie’s faith was strong, he thought, “Why did I pray?

At any given time there is at least one food that you will find completely revolting (fish head anyone?) and a couple others that you kind of like anyway. But what you didn’t know is that each food you like actually tells you everything you need to know about your own personality and what type of neurosis

September 13th, 1939, was a very special day for me and my wife Alzbeta. It is the day of Rosh Hashanah, the first day of the jewish calendar. The only problem was, we couldn’t celebrate with our family and our friends from Nozyk Synagogue, due to us being fearful of the Germans invading Poland. It was more of a day of sadness; I was going to have to enlist in the polish army soon to fight the germans on the front lines.

Yom Kippur is the most important feast in the Jewish calendar. The Jewish people celebrates this feat on every consecutive year. I chose to speak about the feast of Yom Kippur because it was inspired to me by one of the initiators of the Neocatechumenal Way (Carmen Hernandez). Hernandez had a deep love of for the Jewish Liturgies especially the feast of Yom Kippur. Every single year the Neocatechumenal Way in different countries has a retreat and in the retreat there is a special day reserved for
