Love of the Land - Alonei Mamrei
  Selections from classical Torah sources which express the special relationship between the People of Israel and Eretz Yisrael ALONEI MAMREI This Biblical area in Hebron is where Avraham built an altar in gratitude for the Heavenly gift of Eretz Yisrael. It was here too that he welcomed his three angelic visitors who informed him that his wife Sarah would bear him a son. These "plains of Mamrei" derive their name from that of Abraham's ally who encouraged him to go through with his circumcision without fear from his opponents. |
