and to a certain degree
we were able to continue
compartmentalizing throughout the 2000
years of the exile but the land of
israel just doesn't tolerate it
it doesn't cater to the illusion
of compartmentalization it demands
integration
it facilitates integration it creates
integration the land simply does not
allow for this cognitive dissonance
of compartmentalization the land refines
us and burns away our illusions by
forcing us to encounter the deepest
truth of creation
ain't odd milvado that there is nothing
other than god in the world that while
we must do everything everything in our
power to try to help ourselves
ultimately
we are helpless and our fate is totally
in hashem's hands
and it's prayer more than anything
that will provide us with our salvation
and our redemption that's how that's how
it is in the land itself right from the
rain dependent topography we don't have
topography like like other lands that
have their own source of water that is
terrestrial like the nile river we don't
have that you know we depend on the rain
from from the heavens we're surrounded
by enemies to the laws and the tour of
the agriculture itself laws that don't
apply to any other land
orla truma ma the sabbatical the jubilee
all of these laws remind us that the
land is alive
that the land is alive
right that it's it's infused by god's
essence and just as we need our sabbath
so the land needs its sabbath as well
and then being in israel reminds us that
everything is in hashem's hands
everything is governed and controlled by
the creator of the universe in the land
of israel you know our prayer isn't
relegated to the synagogue
but it follows us into the fields it
follows us into the army it follows us
into the commerce
only in the land of israel can we really
transform and evolve both personally and
nationally
to
be living embodiments of the words of
king david that jeremy just quoted from
psalm 69
and as for me
i am
my prayer
right we become living embodiments of
our prayer in the land of israel
we we go to synagogue and we pray in the
morning with our lips and then we go
into the fields and we pray with our
hands and with our feet and with our
shovels and with our axes and we go to
war and we pray with our m16s and our
weapons we become
our prayers in the land of israel the
compartmentalization of the exile simply
doesn't work here right whether we like
it or not when the nation of israel
begins to settle in the land
really heaven begins to settle upon the
earth and that's the real reason
that we love the land of israel right
not because it's an end in in and of
itself
but because it is
the unique vehicle that is perfectly
tailored to us
with which we can elevate the entire
world to godliness
our love for the land is like it's like
a direct outcropping of our love for
hashem for the it's his land it's not
ours this highlight was taken from the
land of israel fellowship
every week hundreds of families from
literally around the world come together
on our live zoom sessions to strengthen
each other to inspire each other and to
learn torah from the land of israel in
which we connect the dots between the
bible the hebrew language and the
confusing events of our times go to
