New Course by Rabbi Hayyim Angel: The Land of Israel in the Bible
In this four-part series, we get to the heart of the central values in the Torah and the Prophets pertaining to the people of Israel and the Land of Israel. Through the study of key biblical texts and rabbinic interpretations, we will build a foundation that informs all later discussions of the religious significance of the Land of Israel for the Jewish people.
