ISRAEL
Although the community of Israel is traditionally associated with sefirà malkut, We associated Israel to the sefirà daat which means knowledge and it is the hidden sefirà, the secret one. This sefirà appears the first time in the Torah to speak of the physical union of Adam and Eve.
Why do we take the rain as a symbol of Israel?
Because the land of Israel is a land poor in water resources made fertile by rainwater. The rain is a gift tied with the observation of the mitzvot, as expressly stated in the prayer of Shema Israel that we Jews recite three times a day.
The water is not from below but from above, and answer to prayers of the people during the winter in the Amidà prayer we ask to G-D the gift of rain and in summer we implore the gift of dew.
SHMITA’
We inaugurate our website in 2008 that this year, according to the Hebrew calendar, corresponds to the year of Shmità.
The Shmità is a cycle of seven years and is, according to the Torah, the Shabbat of the Land of Israel: the land that G-D gives as an inheritance to the children of Israel belongs exclusively.
The Almighty is the only Lord of this Earth.
"Speak to the Israelites and say to them: 'When you enter the land I am going to give you, the land itself must observe a sabbath to the LORD. For six years sow your fields, and for six years prune your vineyards and gather their crops. But in the seventh year the land is to have a sabbath of rest, a sabbath to the LORD. Do not sow your fields or prune your vineyards. Do not reap what grows of itself or harvest the grapes of your untended vines. The land is to have a year of rest. Whatever the land yields during the sabbath year will be food for you--for yourself, your manservant and maidservant, and the hired worker and temporary resident who live among you, as well as for your livestock and the wild animals in your land. Whatever the land produces may be eaten. […] You may ask, "What will we eat in the seventh year if we do not plant or harvest our crops?" I will send you such a blessing in the sixth year that the land will yield enough for three years. While you plant during the eighth year, you will eat from the old crop and will continue to eat from it until the harvest of the ninth year comes in.” (Leviticus 25, 2-7.20-22)
So how do we could not speak of the relationship that Jews have with this land so much-disputed and proved by wars and infightings?
The presence of these people on its land has a spiritual function of cosmic scale. The land of Israel without the Jewish people is like a body without a soul. And that is why the return of the people of Israel on this land has not only led to a resurrection, but also a transformation of arid land into fertile garden. It is known to all the laborious reclaim work of the tireless pioneers of Zionism gathered in the early kibbutzim, that have transformed vast swamps in fertile plantations.
The topic is very current and hot for many,
but we want to emphasize that our approach has no political connotation, but follows the spiritual teachings contained in our religious tradition.
RAV KOOK
The return of the scattered Jews in the Land of Fathers, announced by the prophets, is a visible sign of the cosmic Return to the one that is globally happening.
Ytshaq Abraham Hacohen Kook, better known as Rav Kook, is the great teacher whose teaching inspires today religious Zionist movement.
We repeat that all that we say about Israel does not want to have any political connotation, but is inspired by the kabballistic view which is also the basis for all the thought of Rav Kook.
If I were to define the present state of Israel I would say that it is a “mosaic of colors ". Israeli society is highly pluralistic, a point of encounter between the culture of the West and the East. It is a fascinating melting pot of cultures, peoples, religions and different schools of thought that coexist side by side in spite of many contrasts.
