Putting Down Roots
“And plant them in Your own mountain” is understood as a reference either to Har Habayit(the Temple Mount) or to the entire Land of Israel. When Hashem (God) says that the Jewish people will be planted in the Land of Israel, He means that they will establish roots there and flourish. Jewish tradition believes that this verse is a reference to the time of Mashiach (Messiah), when the Children of Israel will be brought back to the Land of Israel, never to be uprooted again. For two thousand years, Jews have been asking for the fulfillment of this verse each week as part of the Shabbat prayers, “bring us with happiness to our land and plant us in our borders.” This verse has become a reality as Jews from around the world are returning to their ancestral homeland and the Land of Israel is flourishing both with nature (olive trees in northern Israel above) and with the Children of Israel.
