Yaakov Ben Behora
The commentary, Da'at Sofrim, suggests that the word terumah stems from the two letter root, "ram," which means elevated. The greatest gift we can offer is one that expresses and elevates our unique, individual self. We are all different, but when we come together offering our unique contributions, we provide a dwelling place for Hashem in this world.
Aliya to Eretz Yisrael is a similar process. We arrive here - all ages, all professions, diverse backgrounds - and we make our individual and varied contributions to the land and the Jewish people. Eretz Yisrael is indeed God’s country - a land where we can bring our spiritual potential to full expression. It is in Eretz Yisrael, the only place in the world where one can observe all the mitzvot, that Hashem will meld our unique and individual contributions to form the Third Temple and dwell among us.

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.
