Land of Israel

Land of Israel

The birthplace of the Jewish people. The territories of the biblical kingdoms of Judah and Israel, and the area where the State of Israel exists today.

("In the visions of God He brought me into the Land of Israel, and set me down upon a very high mountain, upon which was as the frame of a city on the south"—Ezekiel 40:2. Also: "Our rabbis taught: A person should always live in the Land of Israel, and not live outside of the Land, even in a city whose majority is Jewish. Whoever dwells in the Land of Israel is like one who has a God"—Talmud, Ketubot 110b. Also: "In the Land of Israel the Jewish people arose"—Declaration of Independence. Also: "The Land of Israel between mound and valley / The Land of Israel where the people are the flock of the kibbutz"—Natan Alterman, 'The Sweetness from Sde Boker.' Also: "And again, as always in the Land of Israel, / the stones remember. / The earth does not cover. / The judgment pierces the mountains"—Haim Gouri, 'Passing Account.')
