"Milk and Honey" ✡ Have a Sweet New Year!

You gave them this Land that You swore to their forefathers to give them a Land flowing with milk
and honey.

JEREMIAH (32:22)
 

וַתִּתֵּן לָהֶם אֶת הָאָרֶץ הַזֹּאת אֲשֶׁר נִשְׁבַּעְתָּ לַאֲבוֹתָם לָתֵת לָהֶם אֶרֶץ זָבַת חָלָב וּדְבָשׁ

ירמיהו לב:כב


va-tee-tayn la-hem et ha-a-rets ha-zote a-share neesh-ba-ta la-a-vo-tam la-tayt la-hem e-rets za-vat kha-lav oo-de-vash

Jerusalem Inspiration

Throughout their time in the desert, the Jews were promised by Moses that God would bring them to a land filled with milk and honey. This became the main symbol for the blessing which God bestows upon the Land of Israel. When we dip our apples in honey on Rosh Hashanah, we try to appreciate the source of this sweet blessing. As the holiday draws to a close and the Days of Repentance begin, ushering in a time of deep reflection, heartfelt prayer, and resolutions for change, we remember the extraordinary connection between the Jewish people and the Land of Israel and honor our ancient birthright by striving to become worthy to live within its borders. Learn about Israel in its original Biblical context and understand more about the Holy Land than you ever imagined with our new box-set of the 5 Books of Moses.
