Personal Luggage is dedicated to
generations of “travelers” to Israel. The Holy Land is a focus of yearning and
nostalgia, pilgrimage and desire to find a home. Travelers throughout history,
brimming with ideas, ideals, myths and theologies, have connected to Israel.
The power of this emotional-ideological motivation has been multifaceted and
diverse. The effort entailed by leaving home and embarking on the journey has
also varied, subject to the circumstances of each period. However, what is
common to all of them is the basic drive to abandon everything - home, country,
homeland - and set off on the great voyage to Israel. This drive and effort of
the journey is embodied in Personal Luggage, capturing the essence of the human
saga.
