Hashem will take Yehuda to Himself as His portion in the HolyLand, and He will choose Yerushalayim once moreZechariah 2:16 (The Israel Bible™)וְנָחַל יְהוָה אֶת־יְהוּדָה חֶלְקוֹ עַל אַדְמַת הַקֹּדֶשׁ וּבָחַר עוֹד בִּירוּשָׁלִָםHear the verse in Hebrewv’-na-KHAL a-do-NAI et y’-hu-DAH khel-KO AL ad-MAT ha-KO-desh u-va-KHAR OD bee-ru-sha-LA-im
God's Love of the Land
There are many explanations of the meaning of the name Yerushalayim (ירושלים), the Hebrew for Jerusalem. According to the Sages, the name Yerushalayim comes from the words Yirah (יראה) and Shalem (שלם). Yirah is the Hebrew word for awe, and shalemmeans complete. According to this interpretation, the name Yerushalayim means to completely submit oneself to Hashem (God). This holy city is so special and beloved to man because Hashem loves it so much. This is how humans relate to the entire Land of Israel: We love this land because Hashem loves this land. Pictured above is the Mount of Olives, adjacent to the Old City in Yerushalayim.
