After other worshippers depart the synagogue following the evening service, Moshe shares private time with Elie. Lacking a mentor to guide his contemplation of religious mysticism, he turns to Moshe the Beadle, a very poor and pious loner who works as a handyman at the synagogue in Sighet. Near the close of 1941, twelve-year-old Elie Wiesel - son of a devout Romanian shopkeeper and brother to three girls, two older and one younger - recounts his avid pursuit of Hasidic Judaism through study of the Talmud and the cabbala. It will be easier for you to follow the discussion in these Notes if you number the segments in pencil before you begin reading.) (Note: Wiesel's book is divided into nine unnumbered segments.
