what are your impressions of eliezer family? what was his father like? what was his position in the jewish community?

Eliezer's family seems like a typical Jewish family. They go about their day as any other family, observing traditions and going to temple. Eliezer's father is very respected within the Jewish community of his hometown, and he spends most of his time occupying himself with community affairs. He is a member of the Jewish Council, which is the first group to hear about deportation, and he refuses to try to escape the country.
