What Does God Do Every Day?
This is the only time the Bible tells us how Hashem (God) “spends His time.” From the beginning of the year until the end, it says, the Creator of the universe focuses “ His eyes” and attention on Israel. If we combine this idea with that mentioned in verse 22 instructing us to walk in Hashem’s ways and hold fast to Him, we must likewise keep our eyes focused on Eretz Yisrael (The Land of Israel) “from year’s beginning to year’s end.” This verse inspired Rabbi Tuly Weisz to publish The Israel Bible which highlights the unique connection between the Land, the People, and the God of Israel. The Israel Bible enables hundreds of thousands of people all over the world to connect with Israel each and every day of the year.
