Eretz Yisrael: The Beauty in Simplicity - Rabbi Avi Schneider

one of those magical and beautiful things about eric disrael in my mind that everywhere you go there's another lookout but not necessarily a lookout of beauty though that's also certainly the case in there to sell but it's a spiritual lookout you drive by in the highway and you see a little sign for a cover the gravesite of this special person that special person i think really one of the most unbelievable parts of israel are the parts we don't even know yet that exists the archaeology the soon to be found places that we read about in tanaka and this is where it happened where this god that we just figured out was buried over here but as i believe very often in life the land is reflected by its people and i think eritrea offers another beautiful thing which is the people israel are treasures waiting to be found a quick story i'll share with you there was a student of my wife many many years ago who uh who was going to a mall as i'm sure many of you know have been there when you go to a mall you have to go through a security process to be checked and as this american teenager heads to the mall into the security booth they say to her are you carrying weapon ma'am in hebrew of course to which she naturally responds of course not hands that she hands over her bag to the guard after a few seconds of running through it he stops he says during a loud voice i thought you said there was no neshek there was no weapon in here she's shocked of course in the weapon in her bag and he proceeds to pull out a safer to kill him what do you call this here's a neshik here's a weapon they both exchange a smile and knowing nod and she goes on her way to the mall whatever thought you would find a spiritual nugget as you walk through the mall of israel and encounter a security guard that's the way it is with the land as well constantly opportunities arise where the land will provide us with spiritual energies that have either already happened but we don't know about it yet or are just around the corner of actually taking place we're so lucky and fortunate to be uh i'm personally lucky to be living here in arizona outside and we just blew down my phone but which hashem we should all be looking very soon the opportunity to be living here the entire nation of israel all the jewish people together a maine can hear itself
