Three Types Of Exile

There are three types of exile and they are of increasing severity. The first is when Jews are in exile among other nations, the second is when Jews are in exile among fellow Jews, and the third and most severe is when a Jew is alien to himself, for then he is both captor and captive, in exile within himself.

(Rebbe Sholom Rokeach of Belz)
