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.

Who did Elie Wiesel get to train in the cabala?

By most accounts, Elie Wiesel began to study Kaballah when he was 12 years old. 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.
