Moishe 

In the Beginning . . .

Moishe is a poor, foreign Jew who lived in the community of Sighet with Eliezer. He is a teacher.  He is a compassionate person who becomes friends with Eliezer to teach him the Kabbalah and how to get closer to God.  He is taken by the Hungarian Police with other foreign Jews and is able to escape. He returns to Sighet and warns the Jewish people of the dangers coming.  Unfortunately, the Jews of Sighet do not listen.
