Dear chinuch professionals and others,
Living in Eretz Yisroel is a zechus we don’t take for granted.
In the past decades, physical, political and other realities may have forced us Chareidim from Western countries not to make an issue of living in Eretz Yisroel, but the time may have come to bring up its value once again.
In order to promote an appreciation of living in Eretz Yisroel, we are pleased to announce the publication of a new biweekly sheet in English, “Al HaAretz – Perspectives on Eretz Yisroel.”
The sheet includes a column called “Eretz Chemdah: An Inside View,” featuring insights and experiences of an immigrant – with a Chareidi/Yeshiva background – from America or another English-speaking country, living now in Eretz Yisroel.
It also features a section with a substantial excerpt from one of various contemporary seforim on Torah, mitzvos, halachos, and m inhagim of Eretz Yisroel. Three smaller sections include a quote from one of our gedolim about Eretz Yisroel, a bit about a place in Eretz Yisroel written by a tour guide, and some history tidbits – all from a Chareidi/Yeshiva perspective.
The sheet will be published B”H once every two weeks.
First issue is available here – Al HaAretz issue #1
Free subscriptions for the printed version are available for shuls and chinuch institutions. To subscribe, please reply to this email with name of institution, contact name and phone#/email, number of copies requested and mailing address.

Yours truly,
Yoel Berman
Editor, “Al HaAretz”
