According to Moishe the Beadle, how does man come closer to God?

Moishe the Beadle says that man comes closer
to God through the questions we ask him. It is the questions that matter, not the answers
because, according to Moishe, we do not understand the answers, which lie deep in our souls and
remain there until we die. He prays to God for the strength to ask the real questions.

Moishe becomes the author's instructor in the mysteries of the Kabbalah. He teaches
that there are a thousand and one gates into "the orchard of mystical truth" and
everyone must enter through his own gate, it is no use trying to use one intended for someone
else. The author becomes convinced that Moishe will help him uncover the essence of divinity and
enter eternity, which is where question and answer become one. When he later asks questions
about how God could permit such evil in the world, he realizes that he has not lost his faith,
according to Moishe's definition of it, because it is the questions that bring him closer to
God.
