In the opinion of Shalom Nagar, a pious Israeli Jew, "Man is created to improve himself." He likes to scatter wise sayings about, which are based on the Tenach (the Jewish bible) and which we sometimes hear accompanying images of a cloudy blue sky. "We're in this world as tenants," Nagar says. "The only thing we take with us is our good deeds."

Nagar’s destiny crossed with Adolf Eichmann’s, the Nazi chief who ruled the transportation of Jews to the concentration camps. Nagar tells how he was a guard at Eichmann’s trial, and how he executed him in 1962. This turned out to be a watershed in Nagar's life; after hanging Eichmann, he became very religious.
