Every Jew should visit Israel because Israel is our home.  It is the home of our people's past, present and future.  The incredible miracle of a modern state of Israel is the culmination of 2,000 years of hope, prayer, faith and survival.  When you step off the plane in Tel Aviv, you can honestly feel the spiritual connection to your entire people's history.  When you walk the streets of the old city in Jerusalem, you are literally walking where our ancestors and our great forefathers walked, prayed, lived and loved.  Throughout the entire history of the Jewish People, we have lived in many different countries, but Israel has always been our home.  If you have not been, you do not understand when I say that when you are in Israel, it feels like you are home.  No matter your political leanings or your feelings towards the current government in the United States or Israel, you can be a Jew in Israel and be home.
