Introducing the Land of Israel ✡ "Go Forth From Your Native Land" - Israel365

Hashem said to Avram, “Go forth from your native land and from your father’s house to the land that I will show you. Genesis 12:1 (The Israel Bible™)   וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֶל־אַבְרָם לֶךְ־לְךָ מֵאַרְצְךָ וּמִמּוֹלַדְתְּךָ וּמִבֵּית אָבִיךָ אֶל־הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר אַרְאֶךָּ בראשית יב:א va-YO-mer a-do-NAI el av-RAM lekh l’-KHA may-ar-tz’-KHA u-mi-mo-lad-t’-KHA u-mi-BAYT a-VEE-kha el ha-A-retz a-SHER ar-E-ka

Today's Israel Inspiration This week, we read the Torah portion of Lech L'cha, in which Abram is commanded by God to leave everything behind and head to the Holy Land. According to Jewish Sages, the journey that God commands Abram is for Abram's own benefit. God vows that if Abram follows His commands, He will protect and safeguard Abram and his descendants. Once Abram arrives in the Land of Israel, he is met almost immediately with famine, family tensions and war. Through it all, God remains by Abram's side and continues to promise him greatness. This Torah portion serves as the introduction to the eternal relationship between the land and the people of Israel.

Sanctifying the Name of God ✡ "That I May Be Sanctified In The Midst Of B’nei Yisrael" - Israel365

You shall not profane My holy name, that I may be sanctified in the midst of B’nei Yisrael—I Hashem who sanctify you. Leviticus 22:23 (The Israel Bible™) וְלֹא תְחַלְּלוּ אֶת־שֵׁם קָדְשִׁי וְנִקְדַּשְׁתִּי בְּתוֹךְ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲנִי יְהוָה מְקַדִּשְׁכֶם ויקרא כב:כג v’-LO t’-kha-l’-LU et SHAYM ko-d’-SHEE v’-NIK-dash-TEE b’-TOKH b’-NAY yis-ra-AYL a-NEE a-do-NAI m’-ka-dish-KHEM

Today's Israel Inspiration Leviticus 22:23 outlines the imperative to sanctify the name of God. According to the Talmud, the best way to sanctify God's name is by ensuring that one's behavior and speech reflects positively upon God. One must act in accordance with His commandments and treat others with kindness, consideration, and honesty. In Hebrew, the term for sanctifying the name of God is kiddush Hashem (קידוש השם) . This is a commonly used phrase used to describe a praiseworthy act performed by Jews that brings honor and respect to God.

Abraham was also the first Jew to immigrate to the Land of Israel! Thousands of years later, the modern State of Israel was established in the gregorian year 1948! In this year, Jews from around the world flocked to the land in the fulfillment of Biblical prophecy. Is the year 1948 a coincidence here? I think not!
