A fas­ci­nat­ing and sober­ing insight into human life — the sto­ry of a woman, cov­er­ing, in an iter­a­tive flow, more than a cen­tu­ry of events in Jew­ish his­to­ry — resus­ci­tat­ing a world already past. The pro­tag­o­nist is a metaphor of a life in search of spir­i­tu­al ful­fill­ment, also stand­ing for a peo­ple and the State of Israel re-born and re-awak­ened to love from the ash­es of hate.

On a Wing from the Holy Land nar­rates the life’s jour­ney of a woman and her quest for self-real­iza­tion and growth. Her path is marked by deter­mi­na­tion and endurance, lead­ing her, final­ly, to, Israel, the land of her soul and her most ancient des­tiny. The woman expe­ri­ences con­flicts very ear­ly on in life, and these are not her con­flicts, alone. Like Jes­si­ca, they also belong to oth­er gen­er­a­tions: that of her par­ents, two Shoah sur­vivors, con­flicts of a past as well as a present.
