This book is for those who are becoming acquainted for the first time with the history and geography of the faith, wisdom, hopes and aspirations of the Jewish people, with the sages and teachers of the law from different times. In this book the reader will not find an action-packed narrative with a climax and denouement, but in it There will be many stories similar to fairy tales, and fairy tales that are truer than stories. And let the reader not be surprised by the title of the book: the explanation of this is ahead. This was done not at the whim of the author and not for the fascination of the plot - read the book to the middle, and you will understand everything. Someone may pick apart dates and events in search of inconsistencies, doubt or become proud - meticulous and picky in their insight, based on ignorance, and sometimes on rumors. But let him not rush to conclusions, for this book offers only crumbs from the table of Jewish wisdom that will allow the reader, perhaps, to follow further in his research, doubts and unexpected insights.
