Who is he? He is a poor, humble man who works at the Hasidic synagogue in Sighet. Moishe is a person who is likable. Almost every person in the towns adores him. He is one of the good characters as he helps Eliezer to study the cabbala, and he teaches him that it is more important to ask God the right questions than to try to find the right answers. This is very peaceful even for us, as readers. Early during the war, Moishe is deported to Nazi concentration camps because he is a foreigner. He manages to escape and tries to warn the townspeople of the horrors of the Holocaust. They ignore him and think he's mad.
