It's raining in Israel! ✡ 'Hashem separated the water' - Israel365

Why is the Bible compared to water? "Hashem made the expanse, and it separated the water which was below the expanse from the water which was above the expanse. And it was so." (Genesis 1:7, The Israel Bible™) "וַיַּעַשׂ אֱלֹהִים אֶת־הָרָקִיעַ וַיַּבְדֵּל בֵּין הַמַּיִם אֲשֶׁר מִתַּחַת לָרָקִיעַ וּבֵין הַמַּיִם אֲשֶׁר מֵעַל לָרָקִיעַ וַיְהִי־כֵן ." (בראשית א:ז) In Jewish tradition, the Torah (Bible) is often compared to water. Just as water promotes physical growth in the agricultural world, so too does studying the Torah promote spiritual growth and development. The Land of Israel serves as the perfect backdrop for demonstrating the significance and necessity of water. Rain, especially in desert lands such as Israel, has the ability to transform desolate deserts into flourishing, lush lands. Similarly, studying Torah can fill voids in the hearts and souls of anyone who allows him or herself to be inspired by the word of Hashem (God). Study the full chapter of Genesis 1 >> Start your year with an Israel Bible Reading Plan Study the entire Bible in just one year!
