Summary:

Join Fliegel, the cartoon bird, as he goes on a magical tour through Jewish history. He suddenly appears next to two rather bored children as they take a tour of Jerusalem, and Fliegel takes them on an extraordinary flight through time. Begin with Abraham's journey to the Promised Land and ending with modern Israel and today's world Jewish communities. The emphasis is on the moral, "monotheistic-humanistic" character of Judaism.
