Parashat Vayishlach
Presented By: Rav Mordechai Gershon Written by: Yehuda Gold

In Parashat Vayishlach, Yaakov Avinu buys a piece of land.
The Ibn Ezra explains the following:

The verse mentions the purchase of land to inform us that having a portion of the Land is like having a portion of the World to Come.

Questions

What is the connection between Eretz Yisrael and the World to Come? Why is land ownership in Eretz Yisrael comparable to having holdings in the World to Come?

Answer
The connection to the Land of Israel binds the individual soul with the collective soul of Israel, so the individual soul merits life which death does not rule.

Birkat Mein Shalosh
Presented By: Avrum Leeder Written by: Ori Engelman

After eating grains products, wine or grape juice, and from of the seven species, we recite the blessing Al HaMichya. In the blessing we say:

“May we eat of its fruit & be satisfied by its goodness”

Question
What makes the produce of the Land of Israel so special?
Answer
The fruit of the Land draws from the sanctity of the Shechina that resides in the Land. Thus, one who eats of the fruits is also influenced by the sanctity of the Land.
