The article analyzes the monograph by A. B. Kovelman Those Who Entered Pardes, published in the Chase collection of the Knizhniki publishing house.

This book is not just about culture, metaphor and its literalization, or idioms and codes that permeate through the Judeo-Christian cultural dialogue. At the center of the research is the question: where are we standing and what is under our feet, the desert or Jacob’s ladder?
