To Dwell in the Palace

Eretz Yisroel—always in the news; always on the Jew’s mind. Throughout the ages, the Jew has known that the Land of Israel was the palace of the King. His prayers were directed towards the Land, and his dream was someday, somehow, to ascend to live within its borders. Today, for many, that dream has become reality. For others, it remains, as it has long been, a far-off ideal. TO DWELL IN THE PALACE is the first book to explore the issue of living in the Land of Israel from a current Torah perspective. Included are articles by a variety of authors analyzing Torah sources on Eretz Yisroel, first-person accounts by North American olim which entertain and inform, and a comprehensive and thought-provoking essay by Rabbi Zev Leff. In our times, when Jews are being gathered back into the Land from so many countries of dispersion, when so much is happening so quickly, it is important for the Torah-committed Jews of the West to find out about life in the Land, to examine the mitzva of yishuv Eretz Yisroel, and to read what olim from North America have to say about their experiences and impressions.
