In "Night," Elie Wiesel and other Jews in the concentration camps attempt to observe their religion through various acts of faith, such as reciting prayers and maintaining their traditions despite the harsh conditions. They hold onto rituals like celebrating the Sabbath and trying to gather for communal prayers, even when faced with severe persecution. Wiesel reflects on the struggle to find meaning in their faith amid suffering, illustrating the deep connection to their identity and heritage. However, as their circumstances worsen, many, including Wiesel, grapple with their beliefs and the question of God's presence in their suffering.
