Rabbi Haskel Lookstein writes to Professor Elie Wiesel, expressing his profound inspiration from Wiesel's essay published in The New York Times on December 18, 2013. Lookstein praises Wiesel for speaking truthfully at a crucial time and notes that shortly after, the Wall Street Journal headlined President Obama's warning to veto any Congressional order to increase sanctions on Iran. Lookstein emphasizes the critical importance of Wiesel's message for Israel, America, and the world, urging that the historical lessons in his essay be repeatedly considered. He concludes by imagining his uncle and Wiesel's friend, Bernard Fischman, applauding in Gan Eden, and adds a postscript acknowledging Michael Steinhardt for his role in disseminating this important message to the world.
