Jewish Nation's Driving Mitzvah Is Resurrection of Land, Language, Character
Summarized from Israel National News by baba
RightCharged tone
The primary mitzvah guiding the Jewish nation for the last century is the resurrection of the Land of Israel, the Hebrew language, and the Jewish national character, according to the author. This concept, "t’chiyat hamaytim," contrasts with the desolate state of these areas two millennia ago, as observed by Mark Twain. The author suggests leadership should be given to those who have most contributed to this revival, citing Rabbi Nachman Kahana as an example.
