I<\/span> sail<\/span> the<\/span> Mediterranean<\/span> through<\/span> time<\/span> and<\/span> places,<\/span> sometimes<\/span> even on<\/span> a<\/span> small<\/span> boat<\/span> admiring<\/span> the<\/span> Phoenicians<\/span><\/a>,<\/span><\/span> but<\/span> mostly<\/span> in<\/span> my<\/span> mind.<\/span> This blog\u00a0 is my Museum \u2013 Library – Meeting place as perhaps was the Ancient<\/span> Library<\/span> of<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/span>Alexandria<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/span>The Internet Arcade is a conjunction where personal archetypes resonate jointly with the collective ones. It is also where linear time is almost meaningless. Accordingly, fiction and reality connect and influence each other. <\/span><\/h3>\n

At<\/span> Oranim<\/span> College,<\/span> where<\/span> I<\/span> teach<\/span> –<\/span> we just<\/span>\u00a0had<\/span> a<\/span> very<\/span> interesting<\/span> visit<\/span> of<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0a<\/span> few<\/span> members<\/span> from the <\/span>University<\/span> of<\/span> Malta<\/span><\/a>.<\/span> They<\/span> traveled<\/span> around<\/span> Israel,<\/span> and<\/span> we<\/span> shared<\/span> ideas<\/span> about<\/span> education<\/span> in<\/span> a<\/span> multicultural<\/span> society,<\/span> trying<\/span> to<\/span> collaborate<\/span> in<\/span> different<\/span> ways.<\/span> This\u00a0visit stirred my imagination of connections between schollrs around the \u00a0Mediterranean<\/span><\/span> sharing ideas then and now.\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

It sent me\u00a0<\/span> back<\/span>\u00a0to <\/span>leaf<\/span> through<\/span> a book I love:\u00a0Phoenicians<\/span> <\/em><\/strong>Secrets<\/em>,<\/span> Sanford<\/span> Holst,<\/span> Santorini<\/span> Books,<\/span> 2011,<\/span> p.84.<\/span><\/span> According<\/span> to<\/span> this<\/span> writer,<\/span> the Phoenicians<\/span><\/span>\u00a0were<\/span> in<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0a<\/span> unique<\/span> contact<\/span> with<\/span> the<\/span> Maltese:<\/span> <\/span><\/h3>\n

“<\/span>The<\/span> attraction<\/span> was<\/span> not<\/span> trade.<\/span> This<\/span>\u00a0quiet<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0island<\/span> seemed<\/span> to<\/span> have<\/span> become<\/span> their<\/span> refuge,<\/span> their<\/span> place<\/span> of<\/span> peace<\/span> and<\/span> rest<\/span> on<\/span> the<\/span> long<\/span> voyages<\/span> around<\/span> the<\/span> Mediterranean<\/span> –<\/span> a<\/span> place<\/span> to<\/span> revive<\/span> not<\/span> just<\/span> the<\/span> body<\/span> but<\/span> the<\/span> spirit<\/span> in<\/span> these<\/span> awe-<\/span> inspiring<\/span> <\/em>temples…..They called the land Malet, which ment “refuge”.<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

Sure enough\u00a0<\/span>in <\/span>Hebrew the root\u00a0m.l.t – \u00a0<\/span>means<\/span> to<\/span> run<\/span> for one’s\u00a0<\/span>life…<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

As\u00a0my artistic ongoing project to revive the memory of the lost library is costantly on my mind – I gave our guests a few ostracons to take home with them. <\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

The first one is\u00a0already mapped\u00a0 at Mound Hacker’s world map<\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n
