What master did Elie find to guide him in Cabala?

As an
adolescent, Elie was a deeply observant Jew and would spend the majority of his days studying
the Talmud or weeping over the destruction of the temple in the local synagogue. Elie desired to
learn the secrets of Kabbalah, but his father insisted that he was too young to study Jewish
mysticism. Elie's father also informed him that there were no Kabbalists in Sighet, but Elie
managed to find a master, whose name was Moishe the Beadle.

Moishe the Beadle
was a beloved foreign Jew who lived in utter penury and began teaching Elie the secrets of
Kabbalah. Moishe used to tell Elie that "every question possessed a power that was lost in
the answer" and that "man comes closer to God through the questions he asks Him."
Despite being one of the poorest citizens living in Sighet, Moishe the Beadle enlightened Elie
for hours upon end by elaborating on the Kabbalah's revelations and studying the Zohar with him.
Tragically, Elie's intriguing lessons with Moishe came to an abrupt end when foreign Jews were
expelled from Sighet.
