To the disapproval of his father, Eliezer spends his time there discussing the Kabbalah and the mysteries of the universe with Moshe the Beadle, the synagogue's caretaker and the town's humblest resident,"awkward as a clown" but much loved. Moshe tells him that "man raises himself toward God by the questions he asks Him," a theme that Night repeatedly turns to. ChaCha on!
