Abstract
Makam is the expression of the ancient concept of genius loci in Israel. There are many sites still revered today which have been deemed sacred over the centuries despite changes in customs, religions, and the forces of modernization. The makam consists of a few profoundly simple elements—mountains, trees, rocks, and water. The makam is a place to envision worlds gone by and stands as testimony to the desire of people to come to grips with the larger forces of the world.
