Elements (The Holy Cities)
There are four holy cities in Israel, which, according to the Jewish mystical tradition,
correspond to the four elements:
- earth = Hevron,
where our Matriarchs and Patriarchs are buried;
- fire = Jerusalem, onetime site of the burnt offerings, and seat of the Divine Presence;
- water = Tiberias, on the Kinneret, or Sea of Galilee;
- air = my beloved Tzfat, the town with the
highest elevation in Israel. Tucked away in the northern mountains, this legendary home
of the 16th-century Kabbalists is also known today for its colony of artists (many of whom,
of course, are Kabbalists themselves...).
The arrangement in this piece is based on their geographic order, north to south.
