For the strength to never abandon his father for his own benefit.
Elie Wiesel starts praying in the book "Night," but he struggles with his faith throughout the Holocaust. He questions God's presence and struggles to maintain his faith in the face of such extreme suffering and evil.
Desert his father for his own self-interest
Mr. Weisel wakes Elie up to prevent him from freezing to death in the cold shed. By keeping Elie awake and moving, he helps him maintain some body heat and survive the harsh conditions. It is a matter of survival in the extreme circumstances of the concentration camp.
Moshe the beadle asks Elie, "Why do you pray?" and "Why do you fast?" These questions challenge Elie to think critically about his faith and to reflect on the purpose behind his religious practices.
If your talking about the memoir night, then he felt that god had forsaken him, therefore he would not pray.
Elie prays that he will never abandon his father, even in times of great hardship and suffering. He vows to stick by his father and not lose his humanity in the face of the atrocities they are experiencing in the concentration camps during the Holocaust.
Rosh Hashanah "Blessed be God's name..." "Why, but why would i bless Him?
Elie is reluctant to pray as he marches toward the crematory pit because he has lost faith in God's presence and goodness. Witnessing the horrors of the concentration camp has shaken his belief in a benevolent higher power, leading him to question the existence of God in the face of such immense suffering.
Moshe the Beadle was a poor foreign Jew that lived humbly and worked all time in the town's synagogue. People from Sighet often helped him by giving his some money or food. Even though he was a "master" in the art of incognito, meaning that he was very good being "invisible" to people, nobody ever felt encumbered by his presence. Nobody ever felt embarrassed by him (pg. 1). The relationship of Moshe and Elie began one day at dusk that Elie was praying. Moshe asked Elie: "Why do you weep when you pray?" (pg. 2). Elie was like, well, why do I breath, why do I pray? It was like natural for Elie to weep while praying. Elie wanted a master to help him with his studies of the cabbala, but his father disagrees with the idea (pg. 1). He and Moshe wanted answers of questions they had about God; they were very into religion matters.
Elie chose not to fast on Yom Kippur while he was in the concentration camp because he felt that he was living in an environment where every man was fighting for himself, and divine justice seemed absent in such a place. He had lost his faith and saw fasting as an act of rebellion against a God who had allowed such atrocities to occur.
