Home Is Where the Heart Is
...and My eyes and My heart will be there all of the days.
(Melachim I 9:3)
This Divine promise in regard to the Beit HaMikdash which King Solomon built in Jerusalem is understood by outstanding commentaries as a signal to all Jews to constantly turn their eyes and hearts to Eretz Yisrael and to always desire to return there.
(Rabbi Yonasan Eybshutz, Ya’arot Devash)
