Abstract

The Hebrew ‘El’ (as in Emanu-El) and Arabic ‘Allah’, meaning ‘God’, originate from the same ancient word, but what will be the future of the new cemetery in Kfar Saba situated close to Kalkilya? Can the background of the problematic political situation, inevitably involved, be touched on here in understandable and acceptable terms and even with an optimistic relation to the artistic side? Yes, and some important physical and philosophical problems relevant to the whole of humanity can thus be touched on and deeply discussed.
