In Elie Wiesel’s Wise Men and Their Tales: Portraits of Biblical, Talmudic, and Hasidic Masters, Wiesel artfully blends conversational and erudite discussions of characters from Judaism’s most sacred texts.The strength of this work is the great breadth of the material covered. Despite this, Wiesel is never stretched thin; he brings a life-time of study and reflection to these chapters, providing fresh insights and details, and we are the beneficiaries of his work.If you want to know how Jewish people read their sacred books (or should!) this work is a necessity.

Nobel Peace Prize winner and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel returns to thoughtful biography of major figures of Judaism in this fine collection. A modern-day prophet, Wiesel commands our attention because of his moving personal story of perseverance in the face of unspeakable horror (which he tells unforgettably in Night (Oprah's Book Club)), because of his wonderfully beautiful poetic prose, and because of his extraordinary insight.In this volume, Wiesel addresses Ishamel, Hagar, Lot's wife, Aaron, Miriam, Nadab, Abihu, Esau, Jethro, Gideon, Samson, Saul, Samuel, Isaiah, and Hosea among Biblical characters, as well as Tarfon, Yehoshua ben Levi, Abbaye, and Rava among Talmudic sages and Zanz and Sadigur among the Hasidic masters.This is territory that Wiesel has periodically explored before. He writes of other Biblical characters in Messengers of God: Biblical portraits and legends (where he tells of Adam, Cain, Abel, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, and Job), Five Biblical Portraits (where he tells of Joshua, Elijah, Saul, Jeremiah, and Jonah), Sages and Dreamers: Biblical, Talmudic, and Hasidic Portraits and Legends (where he tells of Noah, Jephthah and his daughter, Ruth, Solomon, Ezekiel, Daniel, Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther), and in his chapter in the anthology Congregation: Contemporary Writers Read the Jewish Bible (Ezekiel again). He also writes on Talmudic sages in Sages and Dreamers: Biblical, Talmudic, and Hasidic Portraits and Legends. And he also writes of Hasidic Sages in Souls on Fire: Portraits and Legends of Hasidic Masters and Four Hasidic Masters and Their Struggle Against Melancholy (Ward-Phillips Lectures in English Language & Literature).Wiesel repeatedly helps us to see surprisingly fresh perspectives in these long-examined vistas. His reexamination proves the enduring value of the great Biblical Texts. And with the significance of his contribution, he reassures us of the continuing worth of the human soul.

Brilliant insights and commentary.

it heavy reading unless you have the background for understanding. It does show both sides of the various views and did open up my thinking about the different stories differently.

Elie Wiesel is great; I want to read more of his work

I don't usually agree with Elie Weisel - and I don't think he really cares if I do - but he always makes me stop and think. As a protestant, I have never heard of about half of these characters but Weisel discusses them so interestingly that it was not a problem.

There are three major sections to this work. In the first Wiesel tells the stories of Biblical figures, Noah Jepthah and his daughter Ruth Solomon Ezekiel Daniel Ezra and Nehemiah Esther. In the second section he writes about Taludic figures, the houses of Hillel and Shammai, Hanina Ben Dosa, Elezar ben Azaryah, Rabbi Ishmael, Rabbi Akiba,Ben Azzai and Ben Zoma, Eilsha Ben Abouya Rabbi Hananiah ben Teradyon Rabbi Meir and Brurya, Rabbi Shimon Bar yohai and his son, Rabbi Zeira, Rav and Shmuel. in the final section he writes of hasidic masters, the Shpoler Zeide, the Apter Rebbe, Rabbi Avraham the Angel, Kotze and Iabitze, the Ostrowtzer.The writing is informed with a true love and feelling for the Tradition.It is also infirmed by the inquiring questioning spirit of Wiesel who challenges and questions as he describes. Reading the book one will get a sense and knowledge of many of the outstanding figures of Jewish history.This book should be of great value to anyone of real interest in the Jewish historical tradition in Learning and Thought.Wiesel is a poetic writer who too has a real feeling for human character and situation.
