Darsheni is Hebrew for “interpret me!” — a command that biblical commentators have imagined texts demanding of their readers. Just as Elie Wiesel returned time and again to probing Jewish texts, our two-day conference will be devoted to exploring the wide-reaching thought and writings of Elie Wiesel and their implications for today.
With an internationally renowned group of scholars, the conference seeks to better understand the depth, breadth, and importance of his Jewish, literary, ethical and humanitarian legacies and contributions, in blessed memory and honor of his 10th yahrzeit in 2026. Although mainly known as a premier chronicler of Holocaust memory, Wiesel’s essential contributions extend to many other areas of life and learning. Our conference aims to make those eloquent and complex contributions, and the books, lectures, and activities through which they received expression, better known to scholars and the public alike.
