Thinking of Israel

Are you Jewish and thinking of making Aliyah?
Have you already taken the big step and come to Eretz Yisrael?

In this post we look at our thoughts of this special land.

If you take time to read the Chumash, you will notice that how one thinks about and how one talks about the Land of Israel is very important. Specifically we need to ensure that our thoughts are positive.

So what do YOU think of Israel? Here is a little test.

When you hear the word ISRAEL, what is the first word that pops into your mind?

Give it a go, write down the word that came to you. Post it here and let us enjoy too.

Now let us take a look at what some others thought when reading the word Israel.

I asked this same question to some friends and received the following replies.

The first word I think of when I hear the word Israel is:

• Home.
• G-d!! Hashem Elokey Israel Hu Hamelech!
• my homeland- my heritage
• כל האבות והאמהות..יצחק,יעקב,שרה,רחל,רבקה,אברהם,לאה
• seminary
• Beauty
• Chosen
• HOME      

We look forward to hearing if you have other positive, special words to add.

How good is your Hebrew? Could you read the one response in Hebrew? Can you re-arrange the names to be in the correct order?
