About “Land” in Hebrew

Eretz Yisrael—the Land of Israel—is one of the most emotionally charged phrases in Jewish consciousness, representing both a physical homeland and a spiritual promise. The Torah describes it as a land flowing with milk and honey. For 2,000 years of exile, Jews prayed facing the direction of Eretz Yisrael and concluded the Passover seder with 'Next year in Jerusalem.'

Example

אֶרֶץ יִשְׂרָאֵל יָפָה מְאוֹד.
