  Mizrahi Inspiration Sheer #16. I'm assuming most people,
• 0:07
  probably including myself, have never given too much thought to
• 0:10
  the collection of persukum verses.
• 0:12
  As I said just before Ashrae, every single day of the year in
• 0:16
  the morning, well, we have a paragraph for he Covad.
• 0:19
  If you're not sure about this paragraph, open a sitter and
• 0:21
  have a look of Sviya the cook explained the connection between
• 0:25
  the nation of Israel and the land of Israel by analyzing just
• 0:28
  this selection of persukim of verses.
• 0:33
  When one studies, the persukim 1 realizes they aren't a random
• 0:36
  collection without any order. It seems to be they're just a
• 0:39
  collection of ideas that are put together in no structure.
• 0:43
  The first half is general, universal, cosmic and focus.
• 0:48
  He covered the Shamel on the glory of our shamble last
• 0:51
  forever. The Lord will rejoice in his
• 0:53
  words. Yisma Hashemba Marsov, Very
• 0:55
  nice. The second-half of the prayer
• 0:58
  has a national character relating exclusively to the
• 1:01
  chosenness of the land of Israel and to the Jewish people.
• 1:04
  For Hashem has chosen see him, He has desired it for his
• 1:08
  dwelling place, and for God has chosen Kiyakov Bachhar Lokkada.
• 1:12
  Hashem chose Jacob, the Jewish people.
• 1:15
  After these two divine absolute sections, there's a third possac
• 1:20
  which encompasses both. Rashem will not cast off his
• 1:23
  people and his inheritance he will not abandon.
• 1:28
  In these prayers we encounter 2 selections that Rashem made the
• 1:31
  chosenness of the nation and of the land.
• 1:35
  When we have called up to the Torabi recite, the Brahsha
• 1:38
  Bachhabanu, we call her name. Just as the nation is divinely
• 1:42
  selected, the land is divinely selected to explain that in
• 1:46
  order for the in the order of the verses which they got on him
• 1:50
  established the chosenness of the land.
• 1:53
  Kibaka, Hashem, Bitsiyon. The land came first Kiyakov,
• 1:58
  Baha'u Loka and then Hashem chose the Jewish people.
• 2:03
  Why is there a need for the land of Israel?
• 2:05
  People ask. People see the land of Israel as
• 2:08
  something external from the life of the nation.
• 2:10
  What do you mean? I can live a normal life, a good
• 2:12
  life, a Tara life. It can be the best Jew living
• 2:16
  anywhere I want. Just as the Jew has survived
• 2:19
  thousands of years in exile, we can survive now without our
• 2:21
  land. Other people say that because of
• 2:24
  the many commandments which can only be done in the land,
• 2:26
  there's no alternative. The land is needed in order to
• 2:29
  fulfill the laws that's missing something fundamental to the
• 2:35
  land. Both of these outlooks see the
• 2:39
  chosenness of the Tara and the nation as the main foundations
• 2:42
  of Judaism, and then because of that you need a land to do these
• 2:46
  things. However, it's possible to
• 2:49
  understand it a little bit differently based on the verses
• 2:55
  we read every single day of the year.
• 2:58
  Kubakash, Embit, Seon. The chosenness and the sanctity
• 3:02
  of the land is connected with the holiness of the people.
• 3:09
  What we have to recognize is the Torah, the Jewish people and the
• 3:13
  land were inseparable in Hashem's plan for the Jewish
• 3:16
  people. For all the years since we lost
• 3:20
  control, sovereignty after the Romans destroyed everything.
• 3:25
  The Jewish people survived spiritually because of our
• 3:27
  connection to Torah, but our national physical life was
• 3:30
  utterly destroyed. Our spiritual survival is only a
• 3:33
  part of what Hashem demands of His nation.
• 3:36
  The Torah and the Jewish people only reach true expression in
• 3:39
  their connection with the land of Israel.
• 3:41
  This understanding brings the midst of living into Israel into
• 3:44
  much clearer focus. The chosenness of the land and
• 3:48
  of the nation are a divine, perfect union.
• 3:51
  Mazel tov. It's a match.
• 3:52
  It's perfect, brought into unison by the Creator of the
• 3:56
  world and of history, says Rough Cook.
• 3:58
  They constitute 1 vital whole the heavens of the Lords and the
• 4:02
  irates, The land he gave to man. First the principal foundation
• 4:06
  of the land is brought into brought to light this God chosen
• 4:11
  piece of earth, and afterwards comes the illumination of the
• 4:14
  nation inheriting its place in the land.
• 4:17
  The earth was given to mankind and the special divine land was
• 4:20
  given to the special type of people, the Jewish people.
• 4:23
  They are mutually intertwined one with the other, Even if we
• 4:27
  can't yet get to live in the Holy Land, at least emotionally,
• 4:32
  once you understand the deep connection and yearn and long
• 4:35
  for it. My friends have a great day.
