Questions for today:
How can we constantly rekindle our love for the land of Israel?
We tend to think of more or larger living things as an expression of more life. What if it’s the opposite?
One of the big emphases in these letters is the love and support for the land of Israel.
In this letter we're specifically focusing on how to really rekindle this love year after year.
To help with this, let's take a look at how life works in general.
A person is physical, made of muscle and bone. By contrast, the life inside the person is spiritual.
In fact, when we think about a person's life we don't think about muscle, we think about their inspiration or thought.
In fact, the less we feel our body the healthier and more full of life we are - If I feel my arm it's probably because my arm is feeling sick.
This concept, where the humility of the physical emphasizes more spiritual life, is something we see very strongly in the land of Israel.
The Creator tells the Jewish people when they go into the land of Israel that it's not like Egypt that had a constant physical flow of life and sustenance from the Nile.
Life in the land of Israel depends on the humble human-G-d interaction, through rain.
