Galut or Golus (Hebrew: גלות‎), means literally exile. Galut or Golus classically refers to the exile of the Jewish people from the Land of Israel (see: Jewish diaspora). There were altogether four such exiles. These are said to be alluded to in Abraham's biblical vision of the future of his descendants according to Bereishit Rabba (44:17):

These four exiles are said to correspond to four animals: the camel, the rabbit, the hare, and the pig.

Rabbi Tzvi Elimelech of Dinov (Bnei Yissaschar, Chodesh Kislev, 2:25) explains that each exile was characterized by a different negative aspect:

The term has also become a Hebrew synonym for the Jewish diaspora, and the term "galut mentality" is used among Jewish nationalists to derisively refer to residents of the Jewish diaspora who do not support, or may even oppose, the reconstitution and reinstitution of Israel and its central socioreligious institutions due to ethnic or religious reasons (see also self-hating Jew and The "Negation of the Diaspora" in Zionism).
