"You must never lose faith, even when the sword hangs over your head. That's the teaching of our sages...."
This quotes shows the strength through the religion of the people who are going through this horrible time and how they all stick together through their religion. Their beliefs hold them together through everything, no matter how terrible it might be. In this quote, interal and external conflict are shown as the struggle of these people are going to get worse.
"I do not know if it has ever happened before, in the long history of the Jews, that people have ever recited the prayer for the dead for themselves. "May His Name be blessed and magnified.""
In this quote, it is showing the fear in the people of this religion. They are praying for themselves as their bodies are going to be killed and want their souls to be safe. These people are foreshadowing their deaths and pray to save their souls.
