Commentary;

This author completely concurs with Batya of Shilo Musing’s “Haunting” post, except for one thing.

I think that this is what should have written near the bottom;

… and the Arabs, with the full support of the entire world, including the United States, the United Nations, the world’s media and the Israeli Left, want the entirety of what is Israel — from Judea, Samaria (Biblical Heartland) to Tel Aviv, Netanya, to Haifa, to the Jordan Valley, to the Golan, to the Negev — judenrein as well as most of the Middle-East. read more

Therefore, yet another opportunity exists to emphasize, in another way, the connection between the Jew and Eretz Yisrael.

When we parallel the laws of Shabbos: six days you shall work and you shall rest, refrain from all manner of avodah on the seventh day… to keep it Holy, just as in emulation of Hashem’s creation of the universe; with the laws of Shemittoh: ‘I will command My blessing during the sixth year and it will provide produce for three years’ we see beyond the Hatam Sofer’s explanation that; read more
