A Land of Ethical Responsibility ✡ "The Land of Canaan" - Israel365

Here we brought back to you from the land of Canaan the money that we found in the mouths of our bags. Genesis 44:8 (The Israel Bible™)   הֵן כֶּסֶף אֲשֶׁר מָצָאנוּ בְּפִי אַמְתְּחֹתֵינוּ הֱשִׁיבֹנוּ אֵלֶיךָ מֵאֶרֶץ כְּנָעַן בראשית מד:ח HAYN KE-sef a-SHER ma-TZA-nu b’-FEE am-t’-kho-TAY-nu he-shee-VO-nu ay-LE-kha may-E-retz k’-NA-an

Today's Israel Inspiration In this week's Torah portion Vayigash, Joseph's brothers attempt to exonerate themselves from the accusations of theft by mentioning that they had already returned the extra money they found in their sacks after the previous trip to Canaan. In the brothers’ minds, the fact that they had returned the missing money adds a further verification of their honesty. As they brought the money back from the Land of Israel, known for its spiritual heights, they must surely have noble intentions.  Since antiquity, the Land of Israel has been synonymous with morality, and the land itself demands a high level of ethical responsibility from its inhabitants.

"Into the Land of Canaan They Came" ✡ Perpetuate the Mission of Abraham and Sarah - ISRAEL365

And Avram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother’s son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came. Genesis 12:5 (The Israel Bible™) וַיִּקַּח אַבְרָם אֶת שָׂרַי אִשְׁתּוֹ וְאֶת לוֹט בֶּן אָחִיו וְאֶת כָּל רְכוּשָׁם אֲשֶׁר רָכָשׁוּ וְאֶת הַנֶּפֶשׁ אֲשֶׁר עָשׂוּ בְחָרָן וַיֵּצְאוּ לָלֶכֶת אַרְצָה כְּנַעַן וַיָּבֹאוּ אַרְצָה כְּנָעַן בראשית יב:ה va-yi-kakh av-ram et sa-rai ish-to v'-et lot ben a-kheev v'-et kol ree-khu-sham a-sher ra-kha-shu v'-et ha-ne-fesh a-sher a-su v'-kha-ran va-yeitz-u la-le-khet ar-tzah k'-na-an va-ya-vo-u ar-tzah k'-na-an

Today's Israel Inspiration When God commanded Abraham to leave his home and travel to the Land of Canaan (ancient Israel), he was instructed to bring his, wife, his sons, and all the 'souls'. Midrash, an ancient commentary that comes to reveal deep questions, explains that these souls were those who were taught and influenced by Abraham and his wife Sarah. Our Biblical ancestors were a power couple who filled their lives by educating and thereby brought the concept of God to countless individuals and communities throughout their lifetime. Today, the Israel Institute of Biblical Studies are perpetuating the mission set out by Abraham and Sarah through educating thousands of people across the world in God's Biblical language: Hebrew. With their unique methods and approach towards revealing the secrets of the Bible, the Israel Institute of Biblical Studies will astound and amaze you with a new world of Hebrew education.

The Temple served as the destination point for all of mankind to worship God through sacrifices and prayer. With the absence of the Temple, people from all faiths and from all corners of the Earth continue to gather at the Western Wall in prayer and with the faith that one day the Temple will be restored to its former glory.
