Detailed explanation-1: -This land that God promised to Abraham all the way back in Genesis is not simply a geographical backdrop-it acts as a picture of covenant faithfulness as God’s people try (and often fail) to live out their divine calling.
Detailed explanation-2: -God gave Abraham the promised land as part of the Covenant/God repeatedly promised to give the land to the descendants of Abraham throughout Jewish history/it is considered a mitzvah to live in Israel/ prayers are said on a daily basis for a return of the Jewish people to the land, etc.
Detailed explanation-3: -Within Judaism, Israel is the Holy Land. It is the land where the faith began – and Jerusalem is the Holy City. For Jews, Jerusalem is at the core of their faith and their world. According to Jewish tradition, all of creation began in Jerusalem.
