24. Land, Covenants, and the Borders of Holiness
from The Mitzvah of Eretz Yisrael · host Rav Shlomo Katz
When Am Yisrael returns home, who else is here, and what does the Torah ask of us in response? Rav Shlomo Katz opens a deeply sensitive and essential conversation around two core prohibitions in the Torah: forming covenants and selling land to non-Jews in Eretz Yisrael. With humility and fire, he brings the words of the פסוקים, the wisdom of the sages, and the lived experience of modern return into one piercing frame: we are not back here for democracy, we are back to reestablish the מלכות of Hashem.
