A 13-part worldwide series exploring Man's quest for meaning. Presented by Ronald Eyre 7: The Chosen People
What makes a Jew, a Jew? In New York, Elie Wiesel , author and survivor of the concentration camps, tries to define it. In London, Norbert Brainin and the Amadeus Quartet carry the argument further, both in music and in words. The argument is not about the accepted fact that God spoke to the Jews-but rather, what do his words mean? In Jerusalem Dr Pinchas Peli, sixth generation rabbi and sixth generation Jerusalemite, acts as guide to the stormy but close relationship between the Jews and their God. ' When you walk the streets of Jerusalem and you come to the Wall you feel that you walk in the footsteps of prophets and kings-but I believe that the Wall is mostly looked at as a reminder ... the feelings, the emotions, the hopes that were woven around these stones are certainly holy.'

by LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN
Played by the Amadeus Quartet NORBERT BRAININ (violin) SIGMUND NISSEL (violin) PETER SCHIDLER (viola) MARTIN LOVETT (cello) Beethoven wrote his last complete work at Gneixendorf in the autumn of 1826. He said that the name of the place sounded like ' the breaking of an axle tree'. Six months later he was to die. On the manuscript page of the last movement he wrote ' Must it be? - it must be!', and the musical analogy to the words runs through the work. By some accounts this was a joking reference to his overdue rent and the inevitability of settlement day, but most of his jokes were flouble-edged.
