Little Nechama hates the visits to the seamstress, and prefers tens of thousands to join her brother Isaiah and the cousins ??who sit around the family table and answer Torah questions. She doesn't get along so well with her mother, but she loves her father, her brother, and especially her entertaining aunt with a passion. The book accompanies Nechama in her journey to become a girl and a woman in early 20th century Germany, in her attempts and struggles to fulfill her big dream, to develop and grow in the world of learning and teaching. She marries her lover despite her parents' opposition, and eventually immigrates to Israel with him. Young Nechama lives with her husband in Jerusalem. Against the background of challenges of absorbing Aliyah and security struggles, she develops and perfects her way of teaching and learning. She has one great ambition in front of her eyes - to teach her students to exercise their minds and hearts, and to make them love learning in general, and the Bible in particular.
