"Emanuel Amzaleg is a Tel Aviv Oriental intellectual immersed in Western culture, a pacifist and a gendarme. After the breakup of his marriage, at the age of 50, the rift revolutionizes his life and leads him to trace his roots. On a journey to find his family lineage, metaphysical, moral, and social questions arise. Throughout the journey Amzaleg found himself in a tangle of personal affiliations: his relationship with his culturally estranged parents, his relationship with his ex-wife, his teenage children, impressive women, his relationship with the academic elite, and a foreign country - all stand the test. From these affiliations emerges the figure of a complex person who lives between the various worlds and is making existential observation. Amzaleg is also a book about the condition of some of the most educated people in Israel "-- Translation and interpretation of the synopsis on the cover
