This book deals with a people whose self-name can be translated that way - "Crossed the river." So called their ancestor: Abraham Ivry - Abraham Jew (Passed). The essays that compiled the book of Daniel Kluger tell exactly about those who somehow crossed - crossed the river, crossed the border, transformed the tradition... Three sections - three travel by time machine. "Jewish Wars" - on the pages of the military history of the Jews, "Scattering" - following the Jews who settled in other countries after the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple, "Adventurers, madmen, messiahs" - it is behind them, behind these strange, far from always attractive, but always bright passengers of this time machine, which is called the history of the Jewish people.
