To love the Lord your God, to listen to His voice and to cleave to Him, for He is your life and the length of your days, to dwell upon the land that God swore to your forefathers, to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob, to give them.
DEUTERONOMY (30:20)
לְאַהֲבָה אֶת יְ-הוָה אֱ-לֹהֶיךָ לִשְׁמֹעַ בְּקֹלוֹ וּלְדָבְקָה בוֹ כִּי הוּא חַיֶּיךָ וְאֹרֶךְ יָמֶיךָ לָשֶׁבֶת עַל הָאֲדָמָה אֲשֶׁר נִשְׁבַּע יְ-הוָה לַאֲבֹתֶיךָ לְאַבְרָהָם לְיִצְחָק וּלְיַעֲקֹב לָתֵת לָהֶם

Through every trial and tribulation, the Jewish people have leaned on the empowering words of today's verse, to cling to God's Word throughout the generations for "He is our life." We pray that as we "dwell upon this Land," the one earthly thing that can heal and give life to all people, Israel’s blood supply and the resources to protect it, are always abundant.
