Love of Zion

Isaiah 62:1

For the sake of Zion I will not be silent; for the sake of Jerusalem I will not be still, until her righteousness goes forth like radiance and her deliverance like a flaming torch.

ישעיה סב:א
לְמַעַן צִיּוֹן לֹא אֶחֱשֶׁה וּלְמַעַן יְרוּשָׁלִַם לֹא אֶשְׁקוֹט עַד יֵצֵא כַנֹּגַהּ צִדְקָהּ וִישׁוּעָתָהּ כְּלַפִּיד יִבְעָר
Bemidbar Rabbah 23:7

Said the Holy Blessed One, I shall bring Israel who is precious to me, to the Land that is precious to me.

במדבר רבה כג:ז
אָמַר הקב"ה אֲנִי אַכְנִּיס אֶת יִשְׂרָאֵל שֶׁהֵן חָבִיבִין עָלַי לְאֶרֶץ שֶׁחָבִיבָה עָלַי
חִבַּת צִיוֹן

In every generation there has been a call for Jews to return to Zion. There has always been a deep connection between the People of Israel and the Land of Israel. The State of Israel represents an opportunity for Jews to express our national identity in all areas of life including the government, the army, and the court system.
