The way of the land is the Torah. The Torah is reflected in nature, in the laws of nature. Everything the Torah teaches us can be learned from our natural world which expands over the entire earth. Who can explain our certain, Holy connection with the land of Israel specifically? Hashem is G-d. May G-d Bless all of creation, all of us, and help us merit to understand and see clearly the Holy Torah that vibrates around us constantly in our perceived physical world. Bless you Holy women! Thank you! I miss you Rebbetzin. I hope you and your whole family, the women at the Midrasha and the land are healthy. Hashem Bless you!<br />--esther :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8542293345014388140.post-81162368591395152452010-04-23T08:02:47.662+03:002010-04-23T08:02:47.662+03:00We Jews have, in the past, survived without our La...We Jews have, in the past, survived without our Land but we can not survive without the Torah. By not living a Torah life, we were spewed out of our Land. Therefore, I believe that it is more important to live a Torah life than to live in the Land. However, by living in the Land, we strengthen our connection to Hashem and to the Torah. Clearly, Hashem wants all Jews to both live a life of Torah AND live in the Land. But if we had to choose between the two, I'd choose to live a Torah life. This has been the secret to our survival during the long, dark years of galus. I pray that we merit to move into the joyous years of light, living a life of ever blossoming Torah and d'veikus deeply planted in the holy Land Hashem gave us!<br />Thank you, Rebbetzin, for inspiring us and creating such a holy makom of Torah for Jewish women the world over.<br />Shalomis Koffler WeinrebShalomishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095955570570689207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8542293345014388140.post-34961081122467711772010-04-23T07:17:45.547+03:002010-04-23T07:17:45.547+03:00Thanks for your comment Rabbanit Hadassah,

There are times and circumstances that prevent one from living in Eretz Israel and in that case one should support Torah scholarship in and out of the land. We can support the planting of trees in the land and pray and make future plans to move to the land. In our case I guess Hashem still wants us to teach more outside of the land. I yearn everyday to be back in Israel! May Hashem bless us that it should be soon! Rabbinite Hadassah Bar TzadokHadassahnoreply@blogger.com
