Moishe the Beadle is an allegorical reference to the Prophet Jeremiah. Much of Dr. Wiesel's writings is rooted in Jewish religious traditions, reflecting the faith of his ancestors and the background in which he was raised. The character of Moishe is likely an amalgam of individuals with whom Dr. Wiesel had contact in his youth but the reference is clear to Jeremiah whom warned ancient Jewish society of the impending destruction of the Temple and the consequent diaspora resulting from the Babylonian wars.
Moshe the Beadle was important to Elie Wiesel because he served as a mentor and spiritual guide to Elie, teaching him about the importance of faith and questioning. Moshe's experiences as a Survivor of the Holocaust, particularly his story of escaping a mass execution, deeply impacted Elie and served as a lesson in the importance of never losing hope.

Mr. Wiesel has said he was influenced by his maternal grandfather, who was deeply involved in Hasidism; he was also taught about the Jewish mystical tradition by a man named Moshe, a caretaker at the synagogue the Wiesel family attended in the town of Sighet, Rumania. Even years later, after he had survived the Holocaust, and gone on to study Philosophy at the Sorbonne in Paris, Mr. Wiesel remained fascinated by Jewish mysticism, and it became a prominent influence on his writings.
