Land of Israel

Tranquility Of The Spirit
From tranquility of the spirit and from inner work, in whatever form, nothing can interfere. Even though I have been ejected from the Holy Land and I am immersed in the land of the nations, until Hashem bestows compassion upon me from the source of compassion, to bring me back to the holy land with His great. Every place is dedicated to His name, a pure gift-offering, with strength and might.
The Spirit Of The Land Of Israel
Thank God, the spirit of the land of Israel accompanies me even in my exile.
God’s Love Has Not Abandoned Me
Even though I wander in the exile, even though I am struck by many pains, spiritual and physical, nevertheless God’s love has not abandoned me. I must raise myself to the greatness of the supernal Freedom, which truly was with me in the Holy Land. And may the Rock of our salvation satiate me with blessing from the dew of the land of life, and strengthen me and support me throughout this oppressive exile of mine, until he saves me when He saves His people, and rings me back to His holy land, to stand before Him with whole-hearted service, with a whole heart, in humility, with awe, with might, with love, and may He straighten His path before me, to save me from the ravages of man, to rectify all of the flaws, to bring me back from being an outcast.
The Clarity Of The Land Of Israel
My heart yearns for the clarity of the land of Israel,
For the faith of the land of Israel,
For the holiness of the land of Israel.
Where can I find the joy of the land of Israel,
The inner calm of the land of Israel,
The closeness to the Divine of the land of Israel,
The truth of the land of Israel,
The might and power of the land of Israel,
The trust of the land of Israel?
Have mercy, Hashem, have compassion.
Compassionate and gracious God,
Be merciful
Make it possible for me to come back to you totally.
Bring me back to Your beautiful land.
Make it possible for me to see the joy of Your people,
To rejoice with Your heirs.
Have compassion, have compassion,
Compassionate Father.
Have mercy, liberate, liberating God.
