Fathers Path
Tali Ohaion
The Genesis of humanity took place on the father`s path- We believe that Adam and Eave, Abraham and Sara, Izik and Rivka, Jakob and Lea, are buried in the Cave of the Machpela in Hebron ‘The Way of the Patriarchs’ encapsulates the early history of the Jewish people and the connection of the Jews to the Land of Israel. For the man is the tree of the field ‘The three-stranded cord is not soon severed’ (Ecclesiastes 4:12). According to the esoteric interpretation this verse refers to three holy sites: the Burdensome Stone {Beit – El}, the Cave of Machpelah and Joseph’s Tomb. These are places the Jewish claim to which was bought in full money and they are chakras to the Upper World; the places where the Upper and Lower Worlds meet.
The film deals with the story of our Biblical ancestors, following the Way of the Patriarchs from Elon Moreh – Nablus, Abraham’s arrival in Israel (Parashat Lech L’cha – Genesis Ch. 12), Beth El, the Temple Mount-Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Boaz’ Field, Hebron and Beersheba – the Highway 60 route. The film will tell of the Jewish people’s historical connection to the sites along the Way of the Patriarchs, of the meaning of the sites according to Kabbalah, and thus the nationalist-Jewish importance of holding onto them. The film reveal a voice of the Palestinian street – people who want to be under Jewish Israeli sovereign
