May we all merit together, all the people of Israel, to return to our Land and to Jerusalem our capital, as we say at the conclusion of the night of the Seder: “Next year in rebuilt Jerusalem.”
The spirit of Israel gazes upon the inner dimensions of life and recognizes and fully knows that everything in the world must be drawn close to the ultimate Source, for the light of Hashem is the soul of existence, and all of the worlds are like one complete body which houses within it the awesome soul of the universe, the holy Shechinah.
Just as the Holy One, blessed be He, chose the People of Israel to cause His Divine Presence to dwell within them, so too He chose the Land of Israel, Jerusalem, the Temple Mount, and the Holy Temple as the place for His Divine Presence to dwell and through which His light shines to the entire world.
Even while asleep, a Jew in the Land of Israel is keeping a mitzvah – the commandment which the Sages consider equal in weight to all the other commandments in the Torah. How many millions and millions of mitzvot a Jew in Israel performs in his or her lifetime just by dwelling in the Land! Can there be a joy greater than this?
This same strategy is being used by the forces of evil today, via the immoral Greek/Western culture which has engulfed the world and entered into Jewish homes like a Trojan Horse everywhere, with the very same goal of defiling the Jewish People, and severing our holy connection to Hashem, may the Almighty have mercy.
