"It Shall Come To Pass:" 7 NBN Summer 2006 Flights (Pics!)


It shall come to pass: when you come to the land which G-d, your L-rd, gives you as an inheritance, you shall occupy it and settle in it.(Deuteronomy 26:1)






"The phrase, 'you shall occupy it and settle within,' implies, a specific period of time. It took the Jews seven years to conquer Israel and seven years to divide it among the people. The Jews were not obligated to bring bikkurim until this period was completed...








..."Here we see how important the unity on the Jewish people is. Even though many individuals and even whole tribes were "settled" in their respective properties in Eretz Yisrael, they could not bring bikkurim until their fellow Jews have reached a similar state. A Jew cannot feel at home and settled until every one of his fellow Jews has also been able to establish his own household...
















..."'It shall come to pass' refers to a state of joy. There is no greater happiness than the settlement of Eretz Yisrael (Or HaChayim).

Beautiful. When do you start 2007?

Very nice, Pinchas. Great pictures, heartwarming post, and great quote at the end.

[except that they flew that tumahdik airline, or has that kerfuffle been resolved to the financial satisfaction of the protesters?]

End of June... then 12 flights through September! Gonna be fun!


Melech - don't start trouble!

These pictures made me feel happy.
Thanks for posting them, and you definitely got my vote

Thanks sle23!

I spotted her.

shh...she'll kill me! Wait... I mean he or she will kill me. I never said it was a she... any way there may be more than one.... uh oh, I'm in big trouble...

Didn't we have the same thread and she said who she was?

The picture I liked best was of my friend Moishe M with his favorite baseball cap. I think that's his wife and m-i-l next to him. Great guy, will get you a Shabbos meal if you turn up at the Kotel the right time on Friday evening.

It reminds me why I want to move to Israel. And I needed reminding, as I keep forgetting.

Indeed. There are so many special people in Eretz Yisrael. It attracts holiness and vomits out (eventually) tumah.
