Wiesel’s blend of belief and doubt, of questioning while clinging to Judaism and to Jewish belief, left a unique heritage and set the tone for Jewish life after the Shoah.

Despite the attempts at vilification, the tweets came in stark contrast to the majority of outpourings from world leaders, public figures, and countless people touched by Wiesel’s works.

'Jerusalem Post' readers explain what the revered Holocaust survivor, author and Nobel Peace Prize laureate meant to them.

I asked my daughter why she was crying. "If we God forbid lose Elie Wiesel, there will be no more special people alive any more. There will be nobody left. He is the last of the giants," she said.

Obama visited Buchenwald concentration camp with Wiesel in 2009— the beginning of a long relationship, grounded in their shared commitment to the State of Israel, the president said.

To keep describing Wiesel in all the obituaries as a survivor does an injustice to the totality of his life and accomplishments.

When I suggested to Governor Christie that he should meet Professor Wiesel he agreed immediately.

Wiesel will celebrate his 86th birthday on Simhat Torah and so I believe this is the perfect opportunity to hear from him and to talk about his writing.

Ad saying “Jews rejected child sacrifice 3,500 years ago... now it’s Hamas’s turn” was penned by Elie Wiesel and Rabbi Shmuley Boteach.
