I was thinking, and pointed it out at the Shabbos table this week, how appropriate our recent tiyul was.
Just in this past weeks parsha we read about the beauty of the Land of Israel; Israel being a land with springs and streams, valleys and mountains, etc. Last week, in the week leading up to this portion of reading, we visited all of the various descriptions of Eretz Yisrael. We hiked through the streams and springs and drank from their sweet waters. We hiked and drove through the mountains and valleys.
Eretz Yisrael - the land where the Torah comes to life!
I remember being quoted a Pasuk that had to do with the beauty of E"Y while in Yeshiva (don't remember what the Pasuk was), being asked where the Pasuk is, and I told the person something like "I don't know, but probably in Parshat Eikev".
