The authors purpose of including Moishe the Beadle he was the character that would foreshadow was to become to the Jews. In the beginning Moishe the Beadle was described as someone who loved to chant and tell vivid stories. Even though he was poor and barefooted, he was still respected by everyone. Then the Gestapo came and expelled are foreign Jews. Including Moishe the Beadle, and when he came back he was changed. He no longer sang or had joy in his heart . He tried to warn everyone of what was to come for them, but they thought he was a mad man going crazy. No one believed him and thought he was homeless, needed money, and they had pity on him. He stories sounded outrages and far fetched. Then two years later what he said came to reality.  On page 7 when Moishe says "Jews listen to me ! Thats all I ask of you. No money. No pity. Just listen to me! No one listened, and even Elie started no to believe him.

The author's purpose of including Moishe the Beadle in the story night was to show us the audience and the jews a little of what was about to happen later in the story to foreshadow .Moishe the Beadle an ordinary foreign jew who was very quiet and awkward was taken along with the rest of the foreign jews and crammed into cattle cars by the Hungarian police as they left the other jews had no thoughts about it and went on with life(page 6).Months later Elie saw Moishe he was frantically telling him all about his experience and how they made them work long hours and they were forced to dig huge trenches and when they were done the prisoners were shot by the Hungarian police he said that “infants were tossed into air and were used as targets for the machine guns(Page 7)”.Moishe told anyone who would listen telling them to leave Sighet while they had the chance no one believed him they thought he went mad and at the end Elie his family and the rest of the jews experienced all that.

The purpose of including Moishe the Beadle is to foreshadow the upcoming events in the story and what was going to happen. Moishe the Beadle was trying to warn them but no one would believe him, it kind of gives the reader an idea of what is going to happen. He yells at them saying "Jews listen to me! That's all I ask of you! No money! No pity! Just listen to me!" (Wiesel 7). It is an allusion to when Moses was sent Egypt. Eventually after they understand what's happening everyone starts to believe him.

I think that the authors purpose of including Moshie the Beadle in the story was to foreshadow what was coming to the camps in the future. Moshe would warn all the Jews about what was to come but many people thought he was just looking for their pity. So almost everyone decided to disbelieve him. In the text it says " Jews, listen to me! That's all I ask of you." This is on page 7 and he knows the truth about what is to come but still everyone is still in disbelief. Then the Jews actually start to experience some of the things that he was saying. In the end I think that Moshie the Beadle was put into the story to foreshadow the end to most of the Jews in camp.

The author's purpose of including Moshie the Beadle as a character and his return was because Moshie was supposed to foreshadow Elie's soon-to-come future. Although Moshie warned the townspeople of Sighet, people chose to ignore his advice. The people actually saw his actions as if he were asking for money and not as a warning. Moshie begged for them to hear his advice, "Jews, listen to me! That's all I ask of you. No money. No pity. Just listen to me!" (Night 7). The biblical allusion to Night is when Moses was sent to Egypt to free the Jewish from the Pharaohs. Moshie came back to the camp to warn the save the Jews living in the ghetto from the horrific experience that he himself had experienced. Moshie's return is important because if the people had listened to him, they could have prevented their deaths or awful experiences. In conclusion, Moshie's return foreshadowed the fate of the Jews who were unwilling to listen.

What is the author’s purpose of including Moishe the Beadle? Moishe the Beadle was  included in Night to show that Moishe was prophesying the Concentration Camps to the Jews back in Sighet even though they didn’t want to believe him. “Even I did not believe him. I often sat with him, after services, and listened to his tales, trying to understand his grief. But all I felt was pity. (Night, 7)” The people of Sighet thought that he was just asking for money or pity when he was actually telling them what they were going to see in the future. The biblical allusion is when God told Moses to go to Egypt and free his people form Pharaoh. The whole situation of Moishe the Beadle returning to Sighet was that most people that went through the camps didn’t come back alive, they all died. It’s important that he came back because if people did believe him, they could have saved themselves from the horrific future. In closing, the purpose of Moishe the Beadle returning was to show the Jews what their future was going to consist of shortly.

The authors purpose in having Moishe the Beadle return to Sighet is to show a little more what Elie's life was like before he was taken away to concentration camp. Another reason the author did this was most likely to foreshadow how much different Elie's life will become in such a short matter of time. When Moishe explains the story about what happens to him, nobody wants to listen or believe him because they think he is trying to get people to pity him. This is irony because soon after, all these people are sent to concentration camps. The author was showing a sense of foreshadowing to the reader when Moishe was telling the people.

I think the reason Moishe came back is to provide a bit of irony. He warns them of what is to come and they ignore him. But if they listened, they may have been able to escape from the grasps of the SS. Instead they stay up until they are taken to the dreaded Auschwitz. So much could have been avoided, but instead they treated him like the boy who cried wolf.

The authors purpose of having Moishe the Beadle return to Sighet was to show they were warned about was about to happen to them.  He had experienced what was happening and didn't want this to happen to his people. " Jews, listen to me! That's all I ask of you." pg 7 It matters because if they would have listened they may have been able to escape.  Moishe was included because it foreshadows how they are going to be treated and what possible torture they will go through. Moishe in a biblical allusion is like Esther. Esther put her life on the line to save her people. Moishe acted like he was dead in order to return and tell his people and try to save them.  This is irony because no matter how hard he tried to save them he failed.

I think Elie included Moshe the Beadle and his return to Sighet because it foreshadowed what was going on in Auschwitz. He was warning all of the Jews that this was happening but no one would believe him because they all thought he was insane. It matters because it shows that a lot was going on beyond their town and that similar things would happen to them soon. The biblical allusion is whenever Moses tried to free the Jews. In this allusion, Moshe acts as Moses because he is trying to warn the Jews that there is bad coming.

Moishe the Beadle was put in "the boy who cried wolf" situation, trying to warn the people of Sighet, but being denied because of the prejudices against him. His warning would not only foreshadow of the most tragic events in history but it would show the deniability of such events because of people being naive or too oblivious to possibilities that we think are too powerful to touch.

I personally think that Elie included Moshe the Beadle and his return back to Sighet was because it was supposed to be foreshadowing that all thew jews were going to be held captive as slaves. There is many different mentions to this in the the book night. People thought he was crazy and no one believed him. When people started believing him it was to late and there was no going back. If people were to believe him they're would have been more people who lived through it all.

I think the reason Elie included Moishe the Beadle and his return back to Sighet is because he was warning all the Jews their that eventually they're going to be taken as slaves. "You cannot understand. I was saved miraculously. I succeeded coming back. Where did I get my strength? I wanted to return to Sighet to describe to you my death so that you might ready yourself while theres still time." This proves he came back to warn the and prepare them for what is to come. But, no one believed him till it was too late maybe if they would have listened they could have left and never had to endure the journey and many wouldn't have died. The biblical allusion is that Moishe came back to try to make sure the jews would not be in slaved and that they would leave Sighet before the SS officiers came to get them. While in the bible Moses came to lead all of the jews out of Egypt into the promised land. This is ironic because Moses was trying to bring the slaves out of slavery to salvation while Moishe was trying to prevent the jews from departing salvation and going into slavery.

I believe the author had Moishe return for two reasons. The first is so that he would act as a foreshadower of doom. "I am alone. But I wanted to come back and warn you" (Wiesel 7).The second reason is because he shows the reader how the Jews act. The Jews are very controlling. Even when they couldn't physically change their situation they always tried to maintain a positive outlook and all signs of people who started to develop different feelings on the matter were smothered (figuratively). "But people not only refused to believe his tales, they refused to listen" (Wiesel 7). The Jews lived by the policy that ignorance is bliss. Moshe could be compared to Jesus Christ. In the Christian bible, Christ was ridiculed and treated as nothing more than a nuisance (besides his followers), up until his death and resurrection. Moishe was in a similar situation. He talked of tragedy and he was met with scorn. If given the chance to go back, I'm sure the Jews of Sighet would listen to Moishe and run away. I'm sure that those that ridiculed Christ would've gone back and supported him (if they could of course) after his supposed revival.The irony following his return was that he returned to save Sighet, and yet Sighet wouldn't let him save it. He used will power to get himself back to Sighet, not because he wanted to live but because he wanted to save lives and yet he couldn't. "Life? I no longer care to live. I am alone. But I wanted to come back to warn you" Wiesel 7).

Elie Wiesel wrote the book Night not only to tell his story, but to give justice back to those who died. Mentioning Moishe, his Talmud teacher, sets a picture of what Elie’s life was like before the Holocaust. Moishe is actually Yiddish for Moses. Moishe was taken in the beginning of the Holocaust and was fortunate enough to escape with minor injuries. He bore witness to the Nazis killing Jewish men and went back to Sighet to warn the others. “ ‘I wanted to return to Sighet to describe to you my death so that you might ready yourselves while there is still time…But I wanted to come back to warn you’ “ (Wiesel 7). Moishe tried his hardest to warn the people in Sighet to leave and seek safety. The “stories” Moishe told were too unthinkable for society to comprehend. In the Bible, Moses warned Pharaoh to let his people go or horrid things would come his way. Whereas, Moishe alerted his people to leave or death would be upon them. Therefore Moishe is a biblical allusion to Moses. However, Moishe lost his faith in G-d and fell silent. Therefore, making it ironic that he could be alluded to Moses.

I think the author’s purpose in having Moishe the Beadle return to Sighet was to foreshadow what was to happen and create a sense of irony to the plot. Moishe told the story of what had happened to him and everyone thought he was crazy. Little did they know that was going to happen to them. “I wanted to return to Sighet to describe to you my death so that you might ready yourselves while there is still time.” said Moishe. It foreshadows that the same fate was going to happen to the Jewish people who thought he was looking for pity. The biblical allusion was that Moishe is like Moses because he tried to free the Jews. I think it’s ironic because both Moishe and Moses wanted to take the cruel fate destined for Jewish people given by a group who thought they were superior. The Moishe’s return and the biblical allusion is important because it gives us a idea of what was going to happen later in the story. All of it was to give a sense of irony to the text and foreshadow the future of Eliezer and his fellow Jews.

I think the reason that the author started the book before Moshe returned was because that was his spiritual advisor, and played a role in the story. He escapes before being deported with other Jews to be killed, and returns to Sighet to tell everyone what the Nazi's are doing to the Jews. However, everyone thinks he's insane. The biblical allusion is when Jesus told the people that he was the Messiah, but they thought he was lying/crazy. But later, Jesus proved the people wrong, just as Moshe did when they were deported to Auschwitz. I think the irony in all of it is that the Jews heard these stories and assumed they were too inhumane and crazy, but later realized the actual situation was crazier than Moshe's "stories." Having Moshe the Beadle in the book made the story more ironic and kept a biblical reference throughout it.
