Jerusalem Inspiration The Great Flood during the time of Biblical Noah is one of the most widely known passages from the Bible. Here is an amazing detail that you may not have known. According to many Jewish teachings, the effects of the flood were less severe in the Land of Israel. Why did God choose to spare the holy land? Rabbi Shneur Zalman teaches that the purpose of the flood was to purify the world of its corruption, but the Land of Israel is intrinsically pure and it is impossible to corrupt. Not only is Israel's earth pure, its air is even said to have a soothing, serene quality.  Imagine yourself here in the Holy Land, and enjoy its soothing benefits with a variety of Exotic Tea Blends.
