Genesis 2:9 (The Israel Bible™)   וַיַּצְמַח יְהוָה אֱלֹהִים מִן הָאֲדָמָה כָּל עֵץ נֶחְמָד לְמַרְאֶה וְטוֹב לְמַאֲכָל וְעֵץ הַחַיִּים בְּתוֹךְ הַגָּן וְעֵץ הַדַּעַת טוֹב וָרָע בראשית ב:ט va-yitz-makh Ha-shem E-lo-heem min ha-a-da-mah kol etz nekh-mad l'-mar-eh v'-tov l'-ma-a-khal v'-etz ha-kha-yim b'-tokh ha-gan v'-etz ha-da-at tov v'-ra Today's Israel Inspiration According to the simple meaning of the text in Genesis, God created a lovely garden in Eden for the purpose of beautifying the land for humanity, as well as to provide sustenance and nourishment. Placed in the middle of the Garden is what God called the "Tree of Life". Throughout history, Jewish scholars have interpreted these words to directly apply to the Torah, the Hebrew Bible. In the way a tree can sustain a person's physical life, by providing food, shade or wood, how much more so can God's Torah, which is the source of the richest spiritual nourishment for the soul. For this reason, trees are not only a valuable asset to the Holy Land, giving a means of livelihood through its entire being, but a truly cherished symbol of the Torah as the single most precious commodity since the beginning of time. With the New Year under way, adding trees to Israel's landscape is a way of saying "I am devoting my life to God's Torah."   Plant Trees Today » A 'Vision' of Prophetic Fulfillment The contestants of the international singing competition "Eurovision 2016" came to the Holy Land and planted their own garden of trees in Israel's borders.   Watch » A Biblical Food to Heal All Your Maladies Did you know that of all the vegetation growing in the Holy Land, the olive tree produces a plethera of medicinal benefits?
