1. What was Elie interested in learning about when he was young? How did his father respond? Who
did he find to become his mentor? (12 pts)

Answer 1

Elie was very interested in studying the Kabbalah because he was a very religious Jew and wanted to study all things related to his religion.

Elie wants to study the Kabbalah which is the ancient mystical interpretation of the Bible, but his dad thinks he’s too young and doesn’t want him to study it because he believes he should study the basics first.
