MASSEI - FOR GOD AND COUNTRY

Rabbi Dunner describes his visit to Israel, including his two-day trip to survey Israel's northern border, and his reflections after seeing his son Meir inducted into the IDF paratroopers. Parshat Massei talks about Israel's borders, but later commentaries point out that the biblical borders were not the final borders, and that borders changed throughout Jewish history. Rabbi Dunner ties it all together with a profound lesson in Jewish identity and the symbolism of the Land of Israel.
