Can you teach us how to survive?

Years ago, Eli Weezell (? ) was asked by the Dalai Lama if he could see
him. He wanted to talk to Eli Rizell.  During their meeting, Weezell said
to him, ?With all due respect, Mr. Lama? (I don?t think he really called
him that) ? Why was it so important for you to see me??  The Dalai Lama
answered him, ?Mr. Weezell, your people have suffered a lot and you went
into exile 2000 years ago, but amazingly you?re still here. My people just
left our homeland. We are in exile. Can you teach us how to survive? How?
How have you done it? How do the Jews continue to do it??
