They both wanted to be a preacher.
Moshe the beadle asks Elie, "Why do you pray?" and "Why do you fast?" These questions challenge Elie to think critically about his faith and to reflect on the purpose behind his religious practices.
he was elie's spiritual mentor
Moshe the Beadle warns the Jews about the plans of the Nazi but is not herd, and Elie's Father tells the Jews that they have nothing to worry about and that they should just stay put and do what the nazi want.
Actually, he did learn from Moshe, the Beadle but it wasn't long after, that the Germans invaded and forced them into ghettos and later into concentration camps. I know that in the beginning Elie looked up to Moshe the Beadle, but I am not sure who exactly was the religious teacher.
Moshe the Beadle was Eliezer's teacher of Jewish mysticism, Moshe is a poor Jew who lives in Sighet. He is deported before the rest of the Sighet Jews but escapes and returns to tell the town what the Nazis are doing to the Jews. Tragically, the community takes Moshe for a lunatic.
A sentence that doesn't describe Moshe the Beadle might be: "Moshe the Beadle is a wealthy businessman who travels frequently for work." This statement contradicts his character as depicted in Elie Wiesel's "Night," where he is portrayed as a poor, humble man with a deep spiritual connection and a prophetic warning about the Holocaust.
Moshe the Beadle is likely in his 30s at the end of 1941. He is a respected member of the Jewish community in Sighet and serves as a mentor to Eliezer in the book "Night" by Elie Wiesel.
Elie Wiesel seeks guidance and understanding from Moshe the Beadle, who serves as a mentor and spiritual advisor to him. Moshe shares profound insights about faith and the nature of God, particularly in times of suffering. Elie looks for answers about his beliefs and the horrors of the world around him, hoping to grasp the reality of his experiences through Moshe's wisdom. Ultimately, this relationship shapes Elie's understanding of faith and humanity in the face of adversity.
"They called him Moshe the Beadle, as though he had never had a suranme in his life."
Elie's father helped him after he suffered one of Idek's bouts of madness in the camp. His father was a source of strength and support for Elie during their time in the concentration camp.
Moche the Beadle was a religious man who worked at the Hasidic synagogue in Sighet. He was known for his profound spirituality and his role as a mentor to the narrator in Elie Wiesel's book "Night." Moche's story of escaping death at the hands of the Nazis served as a warning that was not heeded by the Jewish community.
Moshe the Beadle was a poor foreign Jew that lived humbly and worked all time in the town's synagogue. People from Sighet often helped him by giving his some money or food. Even though he was a "master" in the art of incognito, meaning that he was very good being "invisible" to people, nobody ever felt encumbered by his presence. Nobody ever felt embarrassed by him (pg. 1). The relationship of Moshe and Elie began one day at dusk that Elie was praying. Moshe asked Elie: "Why do you weep when you pray?" (pg. 2). Elie was like, well, why do I breath, why do I pray? It was like natural for Elie to weep while praying. Elie wanted a master to help him with his studies of the cabbala, but his father disagrees with the idea (pg. 1). He and Moshe wanted answers of questions they had about God; they were very into religion matters.
