My Holy Land

The nations cannot understand why the Jewish people should have a land. "If it is G-d and scriptures and heaven that you are all about," they claim, "then why do you want a piece of earth? Is G-d in a place? Will you find G-d in settling land, in governing a country, in defending it? Make up your mind: Is it heaven you want, or earth?" (like... if you're so holy, what do u care about territory?)

Those words, perhaps, are never said. They are quiet words, engraved within the human psyche. And they are the bias behind all their contentions with us: We don’t belong here, on earth, where they belong, playing by their rules. Because G-d is in the heavens, and the earth belongs to humankind. (...and sometimes Jews kind of agree deep down...)

But this is the mission of the Jewish people: For all to see that the same G-d in heaven is here within the earth, within all the endeavors of humankind. For there is nothing else but Him.
Beginning with that specific, well-defined, very special piece of earth to which our destiny is tied.
