Once the Jewish People was fully established in the desert as the bearer of the Divine presence, no land other than the Land of Israel, writes the Ramban (Ha emuna V habitachon ch.18), was appropriate to them. The conquest of the Land of Israel began only after the Torah was given at Sinai and the Tabernacle was built because the conquest of the Land by the Nation of Israel is the assertion of the sovereignty of the Torah, the life-force of the Jewish People throughout all generations, over the land which itself is suited only to what the Ramban calls the rule of the Torah and will not be governed by nations unworthy of it.
Now, as then, the reassertion of Jewish sovereignty in the Land of Israel is the return of the Torah to its natural place, a place where the Torah can flourish and the Divine presence which did not abandon the Jewish People even in exile will once again find full expression.

Hosha'ana Rabba FLYDUBAI & HOSHANA RABBA- ANI VAHU HOSHIA NA- I & HIM SAVE US
"Ani vaHu Hoshia Na", "I and Him, Save Us". We don't just pray to Him, but we also pray to and for ourselves that we should emulate and educate our children to have that instinctive altruism with which He created the world. President Trump seemed amused about Yaniv Hayon, our PLUMBER who confidently worked with G-d like Superman (he learned from a pilot on a TV show!) to save 174 lives on the Dubai hijacking, but we in Israel are totally accustomed already 78 years to our plumbers, teachers, garbage-men, rabbis, farmers & doctors being Hashem's shlichim! This is what Zionism is about.
