A successful businessman, Hy takes his family on horseback adventures throughout the United States, Europe and the Middle East, spending a great deal of time in Israel, where his wife, the former Miss Israel, grew up. The full color, and black and white photographs throughout this travelog highlight the breath-taking landscapes the author encounters as he travels off the beaten track. But not all his adventures are beautiful. Hy encounter rednecks and anti-Semites who challenge him with their bigotry and hatred. Instead of moving on, Hy defends himself and reveals his pride in his religion and his people.

Until last year, Jacob and his family had lived in Russia, where he and his friends would run in and out of each other's homes, one house right next to the other. But now his family had moved to Argentina, and to Jacob, it seemed that friends were harder to find in this new land. Could his new friend Benito join them for the seder? Would he? Could a Passover meal here in Arentina with cowboys, ponchos, chickens, and horses feel like home, too?

Through mimicry and masquerades, Jewish cowboys transform the mythic foundations of American historiography.
