Quotes on Israel and The Jewish People

The State of Israel is constantly in the news, and as CEO of 5WPR would love to see more positive information and quotes about Israel.  Some quotes about the importance of Israel to the Jewish people.

  • “One kingdom comes and another goes, but Israel abices for ever.” Baraitha
  • “Who prays in Jerusalem is as one praying before the Throne of Glory, for the Gate of Heaven is there.” Pirke Derabbi Eliezer
  • “If a land has a soul, then Jerusalem is the soul of the Land of Israel.” David Ben-Gurion
  • “I look at Jerusalem as being a beacon for the three monotheistic religions.” King Abdullah II
  • “Even during the time of Jerusalem’s stumbling, men of faith did not cease from [living] there.” Talmud: Shabbat 119b
  • “The Land of Israel is the House of God.” H. Ibn Attar
  • “The view of Jerusalem is the history of the world; it is more, it is the history of earth and of heaven.” Benjamin Disraeli
