Idit Batya Jerusalem Israel January 4, 2026

The case is so beautifully and compellingly presented, However I have a heartfelt suggestion dear Rabbi Zvi, for a (possibly) mproved version. I live in Israel bH and I sense, like the rest of Am Israel in Erez Israel, a strong most profound drive to contribute to the unity amongst our "tribes". If you could find a way to include one or two relevant images of the miracolous transformation of the deserted lands from Ber Sheva to the Golan Hights into super abundant agricultural fields and vinyards and also the miracolous water system innovations which testify to the loving and joyful embrace between us (people and land) and to the longing we have for each other.... we are trying our best to keep us united sond of Rachel sons of Leah, Israelim and Yehudim gam iachad ... I would share the video with those amongst us that feel left out (they are not!) we are all part of the tapestry each tribes, the Homer and the Ruach... With much love and gratitude for a compelling message to the world. Reply

Good Evening,

This is a beautiful and inspirational video. In the Torah, Jerusalem is seen as the "Mother" of comfort [Isaiah 66:10-14]. The Tanakh is filled with GD's Love and Grace for His Children, and uses the symbology of the Mother, Father, and child relationship engagement; thereby glorifying the Image of GD's love for His/the family, and ALL who love her.

Thank you, Reply

B'H' Your presentation speaks not only to my heart but to my soul. I have always felt a strong draw to the land of Israel and since my visit there, I feel like it is my home, and I will not feel at peace till I return. I buried a heart on the Mount of Olives overlooking the Old City of Jerusalem. Someday soon I'll return to get it and make my home there for good. May HaShem make it so. Thank-you for all your words of inspiration, I quote you a lot on my blog. I posted this video there as well. Reply
