About Eretz HaKodesh

“And Zion shall be said, and every man shall be born in it, and he shall be established in it, the highest,” said Rabbi Meisha bar Beriah, Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi: One is born in it, and one expects to see it. Abaye said: And one of them is better than the crowns of the men. Rava said: And one of them, because he has removed the seal, is better than the crowns of the men, this is what Rabbi Jeremiah said, because he was here, he did not know from which chamber of the rabbis, because he has removed the seal, because he is in the midst of the calamity of the fool.”
(Kesubos 75a)

Our Impact

The Kosel: We’ve organized major Yom Tov and Chol Hamoed events in Yerushalayim for bnei chutz la’aretz.

Event: These events provide a special opportunity for bnei chutz la’aretz to connect with their heritage during Yom Tov and Chol Hamoed in Yerushalayim.

Kashrus: To protect kosher standards, we brought together rabbonim from both Eretz Yisroel and the Diaspora to form a united front against proposed changes to kosher certification laws.

COVD-19: We ensured yeshiva and seminary students were able to enter Israel, similar to the Masa program, to continue their studies in the Holy Land.

Eretz HaKodesh Worldwide: We’ve held events and meetings across the globe to share the vision, mission, and activities of Eretz HaKodesh with Jewish communities everywhere.

Activities: Over the years, we’ve run extensive programs for tens of thousands of foreign students and new immigrants in Eretz Yisrael, helping them acclimate and connect with the land.

Shemittah: Eretz HaKodesh representatives in KKL have worked diligently to ensure the strict observance of Shemittah in all Chief Rabbinate-approved establishments, with produce sold via otzar bais din under the supervision of Rav Yitzchak Efrati.

Our Mission

Eretz HaKodesh is committed to ensuring that classical Torah hashkafah remains a central guiding force in Eretz Yisroel. We provide a voice for Orthodox communities in the Diaspora, making their influence felt in political decisions, communal matters, and policies in Israel. Our goal is to represent these communities and amplify their voices within Israel’s official institutions, counteracting the growing influence of liberal movements that have long claimed to be the exclusive representatives of the Jewish Diaspora.

Eretz HaKodesh seeks to restore balance by accurately reflecting the power dynamics of Jewish communities in the Diaspora and strengthening the voice of those dedicated to preserving the timeless values of the Torah and authentic Jewish tradition. Through our efforts, we aim to express the stance of the Jewish Diaspora on key issues in Israel and protect the rights of all Jewish communities worldwide.
