Description

Eretz Yisrael is the home of the Jewish People, but it is also so much more than that. There are a number of mitzvos that can be performed only in Eretz Yisrael.

Our question, then, is twofold. What is the underlying uniqueness of this special land, and why does the land of Eretz Yisrael possess this unique quality.
