Land Of Our Heritage

NO DUST JACKETHow can one develop love and appreciation for Eretz Yisrael? Land of Our Heritage steps back from the everyday realities of politics, economics, and security to re-examine the deeper, eternal meaning of Eretz Yisrael in the context of Torah tradition, a tradition which has nourished the deepest love and yearnings of the Jewish People for the Land for millenia. If this comprehensive work could be described as having a single purpose, it would be to rediscover Eretz Yisrael. In fact, it deals with many questions. What parts of the Land are considered holy and why? What are the special halachoth relevant to living there? What will be the boundaries of Messianic Eretz Yisrael? What does the commandment to live in or settle the Land mean today? What is the significance of being buried in the Land? Of longing for it? Of suffering for it? Of living in it? Stories of tzaddikim and the difficulties they encountered in journeying to Eretz Yisrael, ancient and new maps, satellite photographs and pictures all are part of Land of Our Heritage. Land of Our Heritage is for students, travelers, teachers, and all those who wish to learn more about the holiness of Eretz Yisrael and its sources.
