Redemption on the Arugot Farm - What Are We Building? - Jeremy Gimpel: The Land of Israel Fellowship

we we've taken a vacation before vacation because vacation on the farm on pesach is not a vacation it's the high season of um the farm and the whole world comes to the arugula farm that's what it feels like on passover and so dale and i just took the kids and right behind me you can see the sea of galilee we've come here for just two days um to try to take away to get away and um ari and we're just i feel like we're in the middle of such a massive move now that i needed to get away from the farm in order to see the farm see my life see our mission see everything that we're doing from the outside and i literally just stepped out of the car after a three-hour drive and um here i am at the sea of galilee and when i first got out of the car and i saw this spectacular view behind me you know we're celebrating the the holiday of passover 40 years they were in the desert and imagine what they saw they walked into the land of israel and then they saw this that's what they got a chance to see like the blessing beyond measure of having such a water source in the heart of their land and so there's something so holy about this area tiberius is one of the four holy cities of israel and just kind of connecting to such a um a lush green beautiful place where we're at the edge of the desert it's just something else but um i want to talk to you about what's on my heart and what i've been studying about passover and then because hopefully bring it all together but um the word itself is usually translated as passover but in fact it's it could be read as two separate words at least phonetically means to speak and then you have the haggadah haggadah is the little liturgy that we read throughout the passover seder and that's also about speaking means to tell to speak and the entire mitzvah of the day and the reason why we have the celebration of passover is to tell over the story to give it over to the next generation to to tell over the story of our people and to make sure that we realize feel and know that we are the next chapter in that beautiful story that happened so many centuries ago and that we're continuing to tell the story that you know my father told me and that his father told him and that his father told him and that his mother told her daughter and all the way back there's just no other tradition like it it's not so much about faith as much as it is about continuing on um the god-given mission that our family was given our family was given a mission the children of israel and that mission ultimately was to spread to the world but pesach to speak pesach mouth to speak in the haggadah well i was learning this beautiful torah and it said that the idea of passover is to redeem our speech that's one of the spiritual workings that we have to do it's not just about the the full redemption but specifically the way to full redemption is through redeeming our speech and i was trying to figure out like where did that come from that idea and tehila said you know she thinks it comes from when pero pharaoh was telling moses you know just go out go out and and worship your god but just you know leave the women and the children here and i want you to do that he didn't really want us to do that and even when moses said no we're going to go out just for a few days and ah he didn't really mean that either and a lot of times in life we say one thing but we really don't mean what we say it's like sometimes i'm maybe frustrated at a worker frustrated at my wife frustrated at my kids and i'm saying one thing that i'm upset about but really there's something underlying that i'm not really speaking of and to redeem our speech is to actually go to the heart of it all what do you really want to say what's really on our hearts that needs to come out what's really on our hearts that needs to come out to hashem what's in our heart that needs to come out to our loved ones and you know today ari and i um we're going to launch this campaign to build the arugula farm and i've been working and thinking what is it that i want to say because this isn't just an opportunity for us to rally our people together and bring people together to build but this is really a time to redeem our speech we finally have a platform and we're going to be spreading these ideas what do we want to say what's on my heart and this is what i've come to yes the arugude farm is the most strategic farm in gushitsyod it's the flagship farm it's the one that's settling the land of israel and it's it's sent out branches that are really um a support to new farms that are being established we're more than just um an idea where a movement that's making an impact in the land that will change things for future generations really what happens in judea and samaria in our generation will affect israel for who knows how many generations to come our generation's work is so important within the unfolding story we are the generation whose mission is to settle the land but the truth is that's that's only one layer there is something a little bit deeper but i'm almost scared to say it of what the aru goat farm is but i feel like if there's ever been a time it's now in moses you know we talked about redeeming a speech he was the one that had a stutter and maybe he had a stutter because was it easy for him to deal with the lies and trickeries of pharaoh and ultimately he gave the greatest speech in human history the book of deuteronomy is moses's speech that you read for months at a time he became the greatest orator he gave the greatest speaker and so if there is a time to sort of draw on moses's leadership the one who represents nets which may not say means not only victory but it also means to conduct to sort of lead the orchestra and bring the harmonies into place all of us play a certain role play a certain note within the symphony of our movement and so how can i redeem my speech what do i really believe what would i really want to share if i had the courage to say it and so this is what i believe i believe that hashem sent ari and i to the aru goat farm in order to create a window into the messianic era that's what it is it's an opportunity in our generation to fully bring down the vision of the prophets into the material world what would it look like if the jewish people returned to the land of israel returned to the mountains of judea establish a headquarters in the mountains of king david how would we live how would we raise our family what would it look like to have a place that was open to the righteous among the nations that want to come to the land and learn torah to receive the torah from zion and word of god from jerusalem to watch the desert blossom like a rose to watch the barren mountains flourish again to create the vision the prophets had just a window just one mountain just one farm could we make a window into what it would look like if mashiach was already here right now how we may not completely redeem the entire world but what if that one window was enough inspiration just one candle that could light up a whole room what if just one vision of what it would look like when believers come together to do the impossible that stand up against nation states that have tried to destroy us that it stand up against sometimes israel's own secular government that have tried to destroy our vision and with just absolute faith and dedication we rally believers together and say this is a mission that we can accomplish together that we could actually create a window a mirror an insight a peek into the messianic era in our lifetime that's what i want to dedicate my life to that's what i want to bring people to taste that's what happens already at the arugula farm people don't even know what they're experiencing but tears start to come out of their eyes because they've touched something that's inevitable you can't really speak it yet but as we continue to build it it continues to be revealed but what are we revealing we're revealing the vision of the prophets we're revising prophecy that's actually manifesting when we talk about the bible coming to life it's saying that's not just the bible coming to life it's god's presence actually animating our lives animating the ground bringing the souls that need to come and be touched to king david's mountain king david he is the father of the messianic line it's not a coincidence that our farm is stationed in his headquarters in his mountains where he taught the entire world how to pray because the temple it's not a house of torah for all nations it's a house of prayer for all nations and the king that taught us all how to pray it's in those mountains that those prayers came into the world and so for us to actually build a window into the messianic era and allow anyone that wants to participate no matter what their background no matter what their beliefs no matter where they're from whatever their religion is whatever their ethnicity is it is to rebuild the fallen sukkah of david it is exactly what it is and we build it together and then who knows where that might take us where we're trying to just fix the world on one mountain to really fix it right but perhaps if we start with one mountain at the edge of the desert maybe that will actually change the entire world maybe that is the root as everyone striking at the branches of all the problems of the world what if we actually bring the light that the prophets promised us and we say we don't want to wait for the light to come but we're going to try to draw the light down into the world and build it manifest it believe it in action to take our emunah to take our belief and bring it into a moon to bring it in to action and that faith and action would manifest a vision that was given to us that's directing the entire world whether they know it or not but somehow the jewish people have returned to the land of israel the hebrew language has been revived and the mountains of judea are flourishing and so could we possibly build it and i think that that's the offer that's now on the table for anyone that wants to be a part of it with us and i'm looking at myself here on zuma i'm wearing a a baseball hat and the a here is for aru goat it's not for atlanta and so ari and i we're not mystics and sages and important politicians and leaders we just try to do good try to align ourselves with the will of god we're just jews living in judea but maybe just from that simple place of just jews wanting to live in judea and manifest our mandate to be a light unto the nations could we actually do the impossible could we manifest a miracle could we bring a window into the messianic era that may just pave the way for the messianic era itself it just takes enough courage to dream it but then to to work towards it to believe that that's a dream that we could accomplish in our lifetime what would we rather do in our life than go for the absolute gold to go for the ultimate and so that's what's on my heart it's not so much about israel's strategic needs and not so much about you know developing a new place it's really about fulfilling the dream four thousand where god told abraham you've got to get to this land and then from there you'll be a blessing to all families of the earth you're going to need to build a kingdom and so in the headquarters of the king that's where it started let's start building it that's the dream and so that's what's on my heart and hopefully i've redeemed my speech because there's so many reasons to support the arugula farm and to support the movement to settle the land of israel but when i really think about what i really want to say it's so much more than just settling the land it really is in our own small way by fixing this mountain by bringing that light it's really trying to redeem the world and so may we be blessed in the holiday of redemption that we should bring it that we should work towards it that we should have enough courage to jump into the seas and so this is um an amazing video that was prepared almost for this time for us by the christian broadcasting network and i don't think that ari and i could have done a better job ourselves but they came out and they wanted to see what we were doing and we said well we're really trying to bring the bible to life and so if this is an opportunity to share what the purpose in the mission and the light of the arugula farm is and i would encourage everyone to share this short video with all of their friends and family if not to support the arugula farm wake them up to the prophecy that is unfolding in the land of israel in biblical destiny that's quite literally manifesting before our eyes so here's the video ari and i made and i'm sure you're gonna love it on these hills not far from jerusalem lies the our goat farm for six years its founders have built a complex on land where previously there was nothing but barren hills located in judea its founders see the place as the bible coming to life cbn news met with two of its founders ari abramowitz and jeremy gimple tell us where we are we're in the heart of the land of judea bethlehem is about 15 minutes that way right over there as those buildings kiss the sky that's jerusalem 45 minutes directly this way is hebron and if you triangulate that bethlehem jerusalem and hebron and you bring it right here we are in the heart of the land of judea gimpel talks about the connection to king david and as a young boy david would take his sheep out and pasture his sheep in these lands and according to the jewish tradition most of the book of psalms was written here in these mountains before david became king so in his time of trouble where did he run to to the place that he knew best he knew where the caves were he knew where the water holes were he knew how to live here he knew how to survive here these are historic holy mountains the u.n and many countries consider the mountains where david wrote the psalms occupied territory and see the jews who live there in a place they call the west bank as an obstacle to peace and why do they call it the west bank because it's much easier to say let's get the settlers out of the west bank then let's remove the jews from judea right the reason jews are called jews is because we're from judea this is our indigenous land the first jew that was called to jew is mordechai the jew but he was from the tribe of benjamin so why was he called a jew because he was exiled from judea so this is the most natural holistic place for a jew to actually grow and thrive right here in judea local leaders ask these farmers to settle the land to create a tourist attraction and a strategic buffer it's become much more when i came out here after just a few weeks all of the strategy in the military none of that mattered at all so for me i think for jeremy too when we came out here it's like this is what it is to be a jew maybe not for every jew but for us out here this is just the place where it's like oh this is just the most natural thing that could ever possibly happen both ari and i felt called to come here and then pave this road and open the place up where the psalms were written i mean imagine that king david taught every catholic in the world every christian in the world every jew in the world when someone is sick they open up the book of psalms and he taught us all how to pray to god and those prayers entered the world here so this place is meant to be a center for prayer and worship and song and music and art and torah that's open to everyone from every background one common perception about this land is that jews and arabs can't coexist that's not the case here and now if you go to our bedouin village near us arab village over there and you say to them what do you think of these jews here they always say they are beloved friends of ours they are a blessing to us and they're a blessing i know that they would say that because they've come here and they said that they would stand with us okay jeremy ari where are we now so this is the top of the mountain and according to jewish law on the top of a mountain you need to build a structure that's dedicated to the god most high and so this is our house of prayer and it's taken us seven years to build i consider this place the diamond in the crown of everything we've done possibly the diamond in the crown of of judea right this is the the soul of our place is really right here what's so beautiful is that you know we are surrounded by many different types of people but the mattresses that you see here in the pillows in our house of prayer was donated to us by the muslim arab village right down here they so much appreciated us coming here because when we came here we've repaved the roads that lead to their village as well police officers are now patrolling down the roads making sure people are driving safer we've been a blessing of this place one of the most important elements of this place is as we were talking about before the words of the prophets that when we return to the land god will remove from us a heart of stone and put within us a heart of flesh and circumcise our hearts in addition to the house of prayer the farm includes several homes a retreat center in the making hundreds of trees and a vineyard they also host an online bible study called the land of israel fellowship throughout the building the book of amos serves as their blueprint jeremy ari we're here on a a hillside but you see this is prophecy coming to life is that right yeah i mean this is this is prophecy coming to life there's a village over there called amos this is undoubtedly irrefutably the very land in which the prophet amos had his prophecy right he was actually a cowboy right and so his prophecy was in these mountains and the last three verses of his prophecy he says i'll return the exiles of my people and they will rebuild desolate cities and they will plant vineyards and drink their wine and they will plant gardens and eat their fruit and i will plant them upon their land and they'll never be uprooted again and so here we have vineyards right in the very land in which he prophesies amos was in these mountains here and he had this vision that there would be rebuilt cities and vineyards and fruit trees and then i wonder i mean this building that's being built here in this vineyard that's planted here was this exactly what he saw but we built it with the inspired words he guided us to plant that chapter eight of the book of amos i think summarizes our whole mission here if you want to know what is our business plan the book of amos there will be a hunger in the land and the hunger will not be for bread and the thirst will not be for water but to hear the words of hashem the retreat center in the house of prayer everything we're doing is to satisfy this hunger that isn't for bread and the thirst is not for water but to hear the words of god and the words of god are echoing from the mountains of judea to the entire world chris mitchell cbn news the aragord farm judea hi my
