And if you return to Me and keep My commandments and perform them- if your exile is at the end of the heaven, from there I shall gather them, and I shall bring them to the place that I chose to cause My Name to rest there. NEHEMIAH (1:9)

Today's Israel Inspiration

One thing that sets Judaism apart from other religions is the concept of a "chosen place." Many commandments from the Bible only apply in the Holy Land, and according to some Jewish philosophers, Biblical laws even have a qualitative superiority when performed in the Land. Also, as seen in today's verse, the Land of Israel is meant to play a central role in the ultimate redemption, as the destination for the ingathering of the exiles. Help us continue to spread the beauty and significance of "the place," the Land of Israel!

Dear friend, I look forward to your email every day. Ray Gill from England

I've greatly enjoyed Jerusalem, Israel365. You give both a picture of its magnificent beauty along with inspiration and a glimpse of hope for the restoration of the Holy Temple. I have dreamed for most of my life to visit Israel. Now in my 70th year, a miraculous gift has come to me paying the full amount of the cost to come in November, 2015. It's a miracle.
