Intro

Eretz Yisrael: the most awesome, spiritual, and most magnificent land in the entire world! Known by many names, at the center of it all is Yerushalayim, where our Beis Hamikdash once stood thousands of years ago, and in the future, will again.

Shomron - שֹׁמְרוֹן / Shechem - שְׁכֶם  

Welcome to Samaria, the Shomron! Many of the cities of the ancient world were located here, including Shechem right behind us.

Teveria - טְבֶרְיָה

Welcome to Teveria, the city R’ Shimon Bar Yochai comes to after leaving the cave! R’ Pinchos Ben Yair, R’ Shimon's son-in-law greeted him and saw how he looked. And so he took him to the healing hot springs of Chamat which rejuvenated him.

Shiloh - שילה

In this episode, we’re going to be talking about the connection between prayer and tefillah. And today, we’re going to Shiloh, the first place we gathered together as a nation in the Land of Israel.

East Talpiot - תלפיות מזרח / Jerusalem - יְרוּשָׁלַיִם

To this day, we come to pour our hearts in prayer at the Kotel. In fact, one of the names of the Beit Hamikdash was Talpiot- Tal Piot- the mouths that turned to this hill in prayer! This is where we come to pray to Hashem, and to thank Hashem.

Mount Scopus - הַר הַצּוֹפִים

Welcome to Mount Scopus! Here is a place where Jews come from all over the world, united in prayer, in tefillah and in thanks. May we merit Jerusalem to be rebuilt b’mherah v’yamenu!
