A Bronx teacher trots the globe, floating down many rivers, climbing many mountains from Europe to the Orient in a quest to understand humanity. Walking the Bible in Israel in the footsteps of Hebrew prophets and Jesusfrom Bethlehem down to the Via Dolorosa to Golgotha, past the remains of Solomons Templeand dipping his hand in the Jordan River, he ponders religion. Bathing in the Nile River like Moses, he dries his feet on the dry Saharan sands, but first, he scales the pyramids in a search for answers to humanitys quest for immortality before gazing on the pharaohs mummies. Sailing down European rivers and trudging through many bloodstained roads, he ponders mans inhumanity to man. Then, scaling the Great Wall of China, he remembers the poet Robert Frosts words, Something there is that doesnt love a wall, before sailing down the Yangtze River. Breaking down walls in his classroom, he teaches tolerance and understanding.
