"When the Supreme One gave the nations their inheritance, when He separated the children of man" (Devarim 32:8). Each land has unique characteristics which causes variations in people, according to their respective environments. Just as different lands influence different physical characteristics, they also affect our spiritual state. Eretz Yisrael is the special place that is fertile grounds to develop spiritually.
Lesson: The unique attribute of Eretz Yisrael is that it is the place where the Shechinah -- Divine Presence -- dwells. The spiritual power of Eretz Yisrael engenders extraordinary spiritual growth and is the perfect environment for Klal Yisrael to blossom.
App: May we all have the merit to live or visit Eretz Yisrael and absorb its wondrous spiritual nourishment.
