Before his Holocaust experience, Elie Wiesel had a strong religious background as he was raised in a Hasidic Jewish family. He studied Jewish mysticism and Talmud with a local rabbi. Wiesel was deeply connected to his faith and believed in the importance of studying and observing Jewish traditions.
