NO PLUMBING NECESSARY
Adapted from a talk from Rabbi Lopiansky.
In this week’s Parsha, Kedoshim, HaShem tells us that He separated us from all the other nations and made us His. The Ramban, in explaining the nature of how we are different, opens for us a window from which we get a magnificent view of the greatness of the Jewish people.
The Ramban lays down the following principle. Every land on Earth has its unique source of energy. This source finds itself in the realm of astrology. Each astrological source has its own higher source in the spiritual realm in the form of an angel. Hence, every land on Earth has its own angel through which HaShem sends energy to it. These forces of energy are referred to as ‘elohim’ or as ‘elohim acheirim’’. This is true with England, Germany, America and every other land with one exception. The Land of Israel has no astrological source and has no spiritual source. Eretz Yisroel receives her energy directly from HaShem Itself!
