6/17 - Elie Wiesel 'The Testament'

Good afternoon everyone, I continue to read Elie Wiesel's 'The Testament' and hope to finish it tonight and start a new book tomorrow. However, to this point, I continue to enjoy the story he tells about Communism and the Spanish War. He also fights with modernity in terms of continuing on with traditional Judaism or abandoning the ways of his youth. Such topics explored are pre-marital relations, eating non-kosher food, praying daily, wearing tefillin, etc. I am excited to read the conclusion.

Next up is 'A Patch of Blue' originally titled 'Be Ready with Bells and Drums' by Elizabeth Kata.
