Outwardly, it is a cycle from defeat to victory. Inwardly, it represents the record of a profound moral dilemma. For the ancient Temple of Jerusalem was destroyed only three weeks after its defenders broke a tenet of the religious law. To regain the Temple, Jews were taught, would involve not force of arms but strict observance of moral law. Wiesel states the problem by telling a parable about...
