Answer 1

Mr. Malter’s position on Palestine contrasts that of Reb Saunders, who says that Palestine cannot become a Jewish state until the Messiah comes. Reb Saunders’ opinion that the Holocaust must be the result of divine will.

One morning during breakfast in the Saunders’ house, Reuven says that a lot of people are saying that it is time for Palestine (the current state of Israel) to become a Jewish homeland and not only a place where pious Jews go do die. Reb Saunders becomes enraged at Reuven and leaves the table, visibly upset. Later, Danny tells Reuven not to talk about a Jewish state in front of his father, who takes God and Torah very seriously. A secular Jewish state to the Reb is a sacrilege, a violation of the Torah.

How the world makes us suffer,” Reb Saunders says to Reuven and Danny. “It is the will of God. We must accept the will of God.” Because the horror of the deaths is incomprehensible to Reb Saunders, he concludes that the killings are God’s will; if God had not let the Holocaust happen, it wouldn’t have. He can do nothing but accept that this is God’s will.

Reb Saunders is both physically and emotionally devastated by the slaughter of millions of Jews during World War II. Dark circles form around his eyes, and he walks perpetually bent over. Reuven notes that Reb Saunders is “forever silent, withdrawn, his eyes turned inward, brooding, as if witnessing a sea of suffering he alone could see.” Danny’s father appears to be internalizing the suffering of his people. Reuven also is concerned that Danny and his father never communicate with each other, as if they are “physically incapable” of speaking warm words of affection.

Reb Saunders’ position is that God—not Jews or any people, all of whom are sinful—is responsible for establishing a Jewish homeland. When God deems that the right time has come for such a homeland, a messiah will come and establish it.
